This morning some pretty big news was announced that surprised the local music scene in Upstate, N.Y. Local metal legends, Section 8, announced their reunion. Learn more about Section 8, here. Above is the reunion photo. As you read in their biography this band was pretty big in the early 90’s but they disbanded years ago. All of their fans from the past stayed loyal to them to this day even if they were gone for way over a decade and they even grew some new fans over the years when they discovered Section 8’s music online. Isn’t it incredible how fans stay loyal to a band’s music even if they’re gone? I guess that’s what inspired this reunion ’cause they still have the popularity. This band was big enough to be signed to a major label but they broke up before that even happened. Their music is really heavy. They play death metal, hardcore kind of stuff but I like them a lot myself. I know who their lead singer is who is pictured in the center of this photo, we used to hang out years ago. The lead singer’s name is Kasey Dorr and he posted this statement about the section 8 reunion on facebook this morning: “Status Update By Joe Jack Section 8 rehearsal was absolutley Heavy as all Hell . You have been warned. It came back to us like a reflex. Someone put us on pause for 13 years and decided to hit play. New things will also possibly be in the works.In short. WE ARE GOING TO DESTROY YOUR FILTHY PLANET.”

This is pretty exciting news! Look like they got more planned than just a one off reunion show, I think it’s possible they maybe back full time and as you read, it maybe possible they may have new music in the works. So new album on the way too? When they announce their reunion show, I’ll post it asap. I think I’m definitely gonna go to their reunion show. They are a great band. Check out a few tunes in the videos below. Enjoy! Follow Section 8, if you like what you see and hear: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Section-8/313554378789684
