Suddenly Powermad are back in the spotlight. In Decibel #64 (American Carnage tour cover, buy here), Adem Tepedelen profiles guitarist Todd Haug, now the brewmaster at Surly Brewing (motto: “Beer for a glass, from a can.”) Tepedelen’s beer-and-metal blog Brewtal Truth has these outtakes from the interview.
Also, Powermad are writing a new record!
If this means that every ’80s thrash band is reuniting, I am all for it.
This is a good time to revisit Powermad’s appearance in David Lynch’s Wild at Heart. Actually, it’s not revisiting for me because I have sadly never seen the film. Judging from the above incredible scene — if Powermad truly attract a primarily female audience, I cannot wait for them to tour — I need to rectify that posthaste.

My wife loves Wild at Heart and plays the soundtrack all the time. The Powermad song, of course, sticks out like a sore thumb, and she always skips it. Sometimes when she's not paying attention, I'll throw on the CD just to listen to that song.
I never tracked down any of their other music, but I'm all for some new Powermad thrash. Also, I totally missed that article in the last Decibel. I'll have to go back to it.
WILD AT HEART is excellent, man.
"Absolute Power" is such a fuckin' great album…
I think their EP (The Madness Begins) came free with a susbcription to BMX Plus or a similar mag back in the 80s. Used to rock that cassette quite often.
One of the greatest movies of all time, you should track it down immediately.
