The Blight of Re-Recordings: Manowar, Flotsam & Jetsam, Do-Overs and Resting on One’s Laurels

“I’m not much of trend follower or fad supporter (except that whole Pet Rock thing, which was mint). Contrarian nature aside, one trend invading the metalverse that really boils my lobster is the whole “re-recording of classic albums” thing. Ever since I paid $40 for an import of Sodom’s Obsessed by Cruelty on CD only to discover it was a completely different version than the one I grew up worshipping, my hatred of re-recordings has run strong and deep.” Steel Druhm has been stewing over the whole re-recording craze for a while and he’s finally snapped. In hindsight, assigning him both of these re-recordings seems dubious.
