Though "Confuse & Conquer" is the first new POISON IDEA album to be released since the passing of iconic guitarist Tom "Pig Champion" Roberts in early 2006, the loved, infectious sound delivered on the band's seminal albums including 1990's "Feel The Darkness" and 1992's "Blank Blackout Vacant" blazes through the entire album. POISON IDEA currently includes Eric "The Vegetable" Olsen, back on lead guitar. He was the first real lead guitarist in the band and the second player after Pig Champion, and he played on the 1987's "War All The Time" LP and 1988-released "Filthkick" EP. The band also welcomes the return of Chris "Spider" Carey on bass, who played on "Latest Will And Testament", the last recording before Pig passed. The lineup is rounded out with Brandon Bentley also joining on guitar, Nathan "Skinny" Richardson on drums, and as always, founding vocalist Jerry A. Lang handles the hot-blooded vocal delivery.
