1978 -  The "Next New Drummer"

Rod Latter replaced John Towe now and was a Band member for over a Year. The "Crossing the Red Sea" was a big succes and the Band began to Work on new Material. Male Assault was already played the Tour before but more and more Songs that would be later the "Cast of Thousands" made it into the Liveset. Yet the Songs sounded like more "Punkish" as they endet up on the Album. The Problem for the Band got, Punk got out of Focus. It was present in TV, Magazines, and many "Old Punks" were not very pleased about this. That made it difficult for the Punk Bands to keep the "Spirit" alive.
