Show Notes:

Episode Seventy Eight: This episode focuses on a little know thrash act from Boston who has carved out a lengthy career since the late 80's. Of course we are talking about Meliah Rage's debut release Kill To Survive released in 1988.

Kill to Survive came out on Epic Records November 23rd 1988 and was considered a solid release. The music is thrashy, raw and aggressive and filled with lyrics that cover horrific subjects like "Bates Motel", "The Pack" and "Enter The Darkness". The album received good praise and was backed by the harsh vocals of Mike Munro.

Fun Facts: The song Bates Motel is based on the movie Psycho and The Pack is about werewolves or maybe vampires.
