Album Description If there had been ashes from the demise of Halfway To Gone, than A Thousand Knives of Fire would have risen screaming from them. But, since HTG is just on permanent vacation, A Thousand Knives of Fire is more like a diabolical plot by HTG guitarist Lee Stuart and longtime friend and drummer Bob Pantella (Raging Slab, Monster Magnet)--a plot to start a kick-ass rock band whose focus would be spreading the gospel of rock. Reverend of rhythm Taj Briggles was quickly added on bass to preach the virtues of low end, and Paul Wiegand was enlisted for his unique ability with the guitar sermon. Less than a year old, this quartet of Jersey's finest has already been preaching the gospel on stages up and down the eastern seaboard, playing with the likes of Bongzilla, Stinking Lizavetta, Weedeater, Moist Boyz, and Solace. It seems their goal of taking it back to the people has already begun to be realized, and the list of converted continues to grow.
