It is the song Child Saint that is almost identical to Rust In Peace... Polaris
Here's what I found out with the help of google.
I did a bunch of research and came across the Child Saint drummers email at www.metal-archives.com, gave him a shout, and basically just asked him about the band, and the song. Here's what he had to say:
Mike,
"Yes, I was in Child Saint. In the early 80s, John Spectre, from Child Saint was jamming with a friend of his in Huntington Beach CA. Johns friend had another guy for them to jam with, Dave Mustane. Dave had an unfinished song called Child Saint. After playing for a while, John asked Dave if he could have the song and finish it. Dave said that was cool. John and Brian Scott finished writing the song in early 84. We recorded the song on a demo in 85, and on the 12" single in 88. In 89 after an Iron Maiden show at the Forum in L.A., we were played on the KNAC local band radio show. Mustane heard and started claiming we stole the song from him. After that, he decided to put it on his record. Since he had the money of the record behind him, we didn't fight it. Child Saint broke up about a year later. So, that is the story behind Child Saint and Dave Mustane.

Just noticed this one this morning; the bass melody/fill/whatever at the beginning of Sabbath's 'The Shining' is the same as later used by Alice In Chains at the beginning on 'Down In A Hole'.

off-topic, but i think HELLBASTARD's metal album on Earache is very underrated, great catchy thrash riffage; just a different beast from the godly crust years...
did anyone mention '2 min to midnight' b/w 'curse of the pharoahs' already?

Pretty boring stuff imo and a very disappointing change of direction. I can't find even one riff that can be compared to anything that's included in Rippercrust, Hate Militia or Heading for internal darkness.
BTW, some people have told me that the new album was by far their worst effort. I need to check it out myself, although i really don't expect much.

i'll admit i was let-down by 'natural order' when i first heard it, it totally grew on me later on...not the first thing i'd recommend to folks wanting top-shelf thrashmetal, but still good in a BayArea way...but yeah, the early stuff crushes it, easily...
