In the process, I realized that our KC &#038; the Sunshine Band track was never released digitally, and our DEVO cover is buried in an 18 minute bonus track at the end of the first CD.<\/p>\n<p><BR>While compiling these tracks together, I thought back to that era when I lived in Eagle Rock, near Pasadena in Los Angeles. And Boom! I thought that would be a good name for this ep, LOS ANGELES to tie into our new album PORTLAND. Then I immediately thought of the X album, LOS ANGELES, and created an homage to their cover using the World War I hand grenades that were the unofficial Thanatos band logo back in those days.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The first three tracks are pretty weird; while our cover of Body Count\u2019s \u201cCop Killer\u201d is the most listened to Thanatos song on YouTube. Originally we merged Bruce Springsteen\u2019s \u201cHighway Patrolman\u201d with \u201cCop Killer,\u201d but the Boss\u2019 people told us, \u201cUm not a chance in hell, guys!\u201d Which is why Pat rags on Bruce in the lyrics. \u201cSpanish Bombs\u201d and \u201cDeath of an Angel\u201d are quite pleasant. A little for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><BR>We\u2019ve got the new album on <a href=\"http:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/thanatos-portland\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">preOrder\/crowdfunding on Bandcamp<\/a>. We\u2019re chugging along to the goal.
