Chastain—having performed on no less than four of CHASTAIN’s full-length albums prior to releasing her solo debut, Shock Waves, in 1989. However, after another stellar outing with CHASTAIN the following year with For Those Who Dare, a lengthy hiatus occurred, and it would be 20 years before LEATHER’s inimitable vocal force would resurface.

Founding guitarist Anthony Nichols quickly roped in fellow axeman Jim Koury, and with original frontman Mike Munro opting out, the two recruited their former CACTUS LAND bandmate Paul Souza on vocals. Original bassist Jesse Johnson was also a go, and friend and former WARGASM drummer Barry Spillberg rounded out the lineup at that time. ARTIST: MELIAH RAGE TITLE: Barely Human The resulting nine-song, 45-minute album, Barely Human, represented an inspired and LABEL: Divebomb Records reinvigorated MELIAH RAGE—possessing more powerful drive and energy than even some of the CAT#: DIVE164-2 band’s earliest work, while still retaining the contrasting dynamics of a classic album like Solitary FORMAT: CD Solitude. The reaction from fans was overwhelmingly positive, and the group filmed a video for the disc’s title track—which was also featured in an episode of the FX television series The Shield. GENRE: Thrash Metal Select live appearances of the era included stops at the Classic Metal Festival (Chicago, IL) and BOX LOT: 30 Metal Mind Rage II (Baltimore, MD).

Drummer Stuart Dowie had returned for 2006’s The Deep and Dreamless Sleep, and even fan-favorite vocalist Mike Munro had agreed to find time amidst his family commitments to join up for one more album. Bassist Jesse Johnson ultimately decided to step aside, however, at which point the band brought in Darren Lourie—formerly of TRIPHAMMER/EVERY SECOND—to complete the lineup. ARTIST: MELIAH RAGE Realizing in retrospect that The Deep and Dreamless Sleep may have been overly mid-paced TITLE: Masquerade and one-sided, chief songwriter Anthony Nichols set out to write the group’s most guitar-centric LABEL: Divebomb Records album to date—slightly thrashier, and with an occasionally increased emphasis on dual guitar harmonies. Produced by WARGASM’s Rich Spillberg and featuring a guest vocal appearance from CAT#: DIVE165-2 then-METAL CHURCH frontman Ronny Munroe on “Last Rites,” the result was Masquerade: a FORMAT: CD nearly hour-long return to form for MELIAH RAGE. GENRE: Thrash Metal BOX LOT: 30 Unfortunately, Screaming Ferret Wreckords was on the decline, so the album was merely released SRLP: $18.98 as a CD-R and without a sufficient promotional presence.
