Anyone remembers the band Forced Entry from Seattle?

If anyone has some MP3s of them, I'd be really interested...

Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, I don't. Lemme ask around and I'll see if I can muster up a copy in the next few days. Still kicking myself for not picking up the last copy I saw in the store for $7 (damn Testament fixation at the time clouded my judgement)!

Hold on... I'll post Uncertain Future as soon as I finish typing this. Complete with The Shore EP (Century Media re-issue).
Should I post their '87 demo I just got?

Holy shit these guys rock! I had never heard any of their tunes before today - and MAN WAS I MISSING OUT! Great stuff. Thanks muchly X-D and thanks in advance to Mr Gloomp. You guys rule.

BNR Metal ( http://www.bnrmetal.com/ ) had this write up:

"Forced Entry
Origin: Seattle, WA, USA
Status: Disbanded
Last Update: November 1, 2002

Tony Benjamins - vocals/bass
Brad Hull - guitars
Colin Mattson - drums

A thrash band from the Northwest, Forced Entry was the kind of band where the next album might have been great were they able to put it all together, but it never happened. The songwriting style (mixing complex arrangements with a thrash base) was at times intriguing but at other times came across as somewhat disjointed. After releasing the self-financed The Shore EP they were unable to secure a record deal and disbanded. The trio continued to play in local bands (Brad Hull in Thug, the other two in 1000 Pounds, as reported in 2000) and briefly reunited for a show or two a couple of years ago."

Man, thanks to both you guys! The only song i ever heard by Forced Entry as "Never The Know but The No", on MTV years ago.

This inspires me to post something like that sometime later... some old underground stuff that's out of print. Maybe Acid Reign's Moshkinstein EP.

Hey, Skul, is "Motherly Love" a Zappa cover or just a song they did that happens to have the same title?

OMG Greg Gloomp, you and X-D just made my day once again

After looking for years for that stuff, one small request and I have all the shit ever made!!! You guys rock

Greg Gloomp, one small thing: the track Soul Train from The Shore EP returns a 404 URL not found error... Same goes for 2nd and 3rd song off the demo... Can you fix that?

Thanks!!!

OMFG! Thanks so much Skul, Greg, X-D. That Acid Reign is great! I only had the track Life In Forms on a comp before today. These new tunes more than make up for the shitty Dream Theater CD I bought today.


Did anybody mention that this forum rules?

You won't find any nicer people than the folks on here. Corpse must have installed a magnet for generous souls somewhere in his programming.
I got an instant hardon listening to these old tunes again.

Wow! Quite a response to this post. Leave it to open-minded Voivod fans to give Forced some late love. In there heyday, Forced Entry shows had the best moshpits and the best energy of all the Seattle metal acts. Thanks to them, I was able to hold my own in the Slayer and Exodus pits. I think they managed only one national tour with Atrophy & Coroner in 1991, one that DIDN'T come to Seattle. (boo-fucking-hoo!) I still have several flyers and live video clips of them along with other Sea-metal like Coven, Accused, and (blah) Bitter End. It's possible that they and other up-and coming acts like Rawhead and World Funeral might have gotten signed or faired better if not for the Grunge "movement." Well...I could rant all day on this...

Ok. One More....

Forced Entry & Sanctuary gig called "The Mount St. Helens Anniversary Spring Eruption" at the OZ nightclub on May 18th, 1991. One of the few all-ages venues at the time, this place was typical trendy dance club. Sanctuary came on and were visibly drunk, especially the singer, Wally, who talked lots of shit and encouraged the crowd to get crazy. We complied. By the time Forced came on the place was getting (literally) thrashed, with video monitors getting torn down and such. The staff and security pretty much lost control of things and during their signature song "Anaconda" Forced Entry got the plug pulled on them, but we kept singing along to the drums for a minute or so..until the lights came up and we were all "shown the door." I think it was about 11pm and a big grin came to my face as we filed out, seeing about 100 preppies lined up outside in their "L.A. Gear" waiting to "dance the night away" in the "crater" we left for them. Sweet justice against those two-timing club-owners.

Errm, Warcorpse, would you happen to have some Zoetrope? That would be much appreciated. In case you don't, Sacrifice would do.
