[edit] Album history
Post Do What You Feel pre Say A Prayer, Khanoda co-founded a thrash metal band Armed n Dangerous along with bassist E. Patrick in late 1988; following Khanoda’s return from touring Germany to promote "Feel" the summer of that same year. Although he wasn't the vocalist for the band, Khanoda wrote or co-wrote most of their material. "SCUM," the band’s first and last album, was a conceptual piece based on the 1979 Alan Clarke film of the same name which starred Ray Winstone and was the brainchild of lead vocalist Brandon Rafferty who was a British film buff. Weeks following the album's release, A n D disbanded due to constant in-fighting and tumultuous antics and outbursts on stage, caused entirely by its founding members. Following the breakup of both the band and Khanoda and Patrick, A n D was offered a recording deal from Road Runner Records however, no one who was part of the band was interested to get back together. Although a vast departure musically, Khanoda demonstrated the ability to transcend musical boundaries on "SCUM" which would later reflect in his future efforts as both a conceptual artist and theme driven songwriter.
