Notes:
The most popular and most played songs from Vengeance Incorporated’s four LP releases. A few of these were released as singles, and while they weren’t exactly in the American Top 40 Top 10, they sold well for indy import heavy metal. Many of these received extensive airplay on European, Australian and South American radio. Also included are some of the most popular songs from Vengeance Incorporated live performances, from the album Bad, Live & Crazy. The rest are just the most requested and performed songs from the various albums. Several songs appear twice, in both the studio and live versions.
Predator (3 tracks): Predator • Predator (live) • HMSQ
Represented by the title track studio and live versions, and long-time favorite HMSQ. HMSQ was still played occasionally even after Vengeance Incorporated shifted formats to play hard rock and heavy metal covers.
Malicious Intent (6 tracks): Whipped • Latter Days • Murder in Your Eyes • Cry Havoc (live) • Carnivore (live) • Reign of Terror (live)
The second album is well-represented on RSB, with three studio versions from Malicious Intent, Whipped, Latter Days and Murder in Your Eyes, plus 3 live versions of songs from Mal Intent from Bad Live & Crazy, Cry Havoc, Carnivore and Reign of Terror.
Bad Crazy (7 tracks): Tiger Shark • Bad Crazy • Goodbye ’89 • Beijing • Action • Nightmare Landscape • Damned if You Do
