2-4-1 is a reissue of two classic CJSS records from the mid-'80s -- "Praise The Loud" and "World Gone Mad" -- on one mega-length CD. CJSS was formed by guitar wizard David T. Chastain during early 1984 with two other members of the band Spike, drummer Les Sharp and bassist Mike Skimmerhorn. Joining the three was vocalist Russell Jinkens. In the summer of 1985 the band went into the studio and recorded the album "World Gone Mad". This album was received very favorably worldwide and included some of the band's classic cuts such as "Hell On Earth", "World Gone Mad", "Destiny" and the band's contemporary version of the Zeppelin classic "Communication Breakdown". After doing a short tour of the U.S., the group went into the studio in the summer of 1986 and recorded the band's pinnacle release "Praise The Loud". The album was released in October of 1986 to worldwide acclaim. The track "Metal Forever" became a rallying cry for metal fans everywhere. CJSS had released two classic metal albums in less than one year -- a feat unmatched in metaldom. It is safe to say that when musical historians look back at the metal era, "World Gone Mad" and "Praise The Loud" will be considered metal classics.
