I just finished watching the documentary No End In Sight about the disastrous post-invasion fiasco in Iraq that we're suffering to this day. Invading a country is easy, but occupying it turns out to be a tricky bitch. Anyway, when my attention finally shifted back to MB, I found it fitting that the next band we were to welcome was WAKE OF DESTRUCTION, a heavy-metal band out of Lapeer, Mi. There are other disturbing coincidences: both the re-construction of Iraq and Wake Of Destruction began in 2004 but didn't really get off the ground until 2007 (wait, did the re-construction of Iraq ever get off the ground?); both the Iraq War and WOD were conceived in a basement - one at The Pentagon and the other at guitarist Scott Warnke' house; Iraqis shed red on a daily basis and WOD played their first gig at The Red Shed in Caro, MI.  Do we really need any more proof that their time has come?  -  Mitch
