Newcastle, England's Avenger was formed in belated 1982 by isaac Merrit Singer Brian Ross and bassist Mick Moore following the break down of their other grouping, Blitzkrieg (yes, that isthmus, whose eponymic song was later excellently covered by Metallica). Recently relocated to Newcastle from their original home radical in the townsfolk of Tyneside, the copulate met up with guitarist Steve Bird and Gary Young and quick set around recording their first gear demos as Avenger; although it must be aforesaid they never pause to reuse leftover Blitzkrieg songs like "To a fault Wild to Tame" and "Hot 'n' Heavy Express" in the process. The latter was presently earmarked for inclusion in Neat Records' One Take, No Dubs EP and light-emitting diode to a proper Avenger debut single featuring "Besides Wild to Tame" (b/w "On the Rocks") that the chemical group recorded with new guitar player John Brownless. But then, just as the band's no-fuss, blue-collar firebrand of New Wave of British Heavy Metal was starting to build their name, vocaliser Steve Ross abruptly exited to connect Satan, whose possess vocalizer, Ian Davidson Swift, peculiarly enough took his place in Avenger -- a clean swop, merely one that withal lost many fans. In whatsoever sheath, the new Look Avenger (now featuring guitarist Les Cheetham) carried on close to their occupation of touring and demoing material, eventually entering Neat Studios in 1984 to record their debut album, Blood Sports. This, as it turned taboo, was peradventure a moment rush and, along with its 1985 replacement, Grampus Elite, failed to residual taboo the group's high-energy proto-speed metal with anything coming reproducible songwriting. Even so, Avenger actually managed to enlistment the U.S. in 1986 (with so far another new guitar player, Greg Reiter, and drummer Darren Kurland), merely fell aside for well briefly after their return, with Swift soon turning up in Neat labelmates Atomkraft. As for the officially defunct Avenger, all that remained was having their entire body of work poised into Sanctuary's 2002 anthology To a fault Wild to Tame.

Indiana Jones makes Russian communists see red

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Communist party members in St Petersburg on Friday condemned the new Indiana Jones' film as crude anti-Soviet propaganda that distorted history and called for it to be banned from Russian screens.


"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" stars Harrison Ford as an archeologist in 1957 competing with an evil KGB agent, played by Cate Blanchett, to find a skull endowed with mystic powers.


"What galls is how together with America we defeated Hitler, and how we sympathized when Bin Laden hit them. But they go ahead and scare kids with Communists. These people have no shame," said Viktor Perov, a communist party member in Russia's second city.


The comments were made at a meeting of the local Communist party and posted on its Internet site www.kplo.ru.


"Our women don't look like Nazis, but maybe Cate Blanchett was threatened by unemployment, so ... she made this film," Perov said.


The film, the fourth in the hugely successful Indiana Jones series, went on release in Russian cinemas on Thursday. Russian media said it was being shown on 808 screens, the widest ever release for a Hollywood movie.


"Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett (are) second-rate actors, serving as the running dogs of the CIA. We need to deprive these people of the right of entering the country," said another party member, Andrei Gindos.


"The film is low-quality and would raise a smile if there wasn't a danger of drawing into its orbit teenagers who know nothing about the 1950s," Vladimir Mukhin, another member, said in comments on the Internet site.


Mukhin said he would ask the Culture Ministry to ban the film for its "anti-Soviet propaganda".
