DEATHRASH was formed in 1985 by Pat Burns (bass), Marc Grossman (drums), Pat "Nemo" Nemeth (guitar) and John Scherer (vocals). Marc Grossman left the band in 1986 to pursue other interests. With the help of drummer Tony Scaglione (WHIPLASH, SLAYER) we recorded our "Faces Of Death" demo which received worldwide acclaim through fanzines and college radio. The song "Buried Alive" from the "Faces Of Death" demo was signed by New Renaissance Records to be on the compilation album "Speed Metal Hell 2". Tim Scherer joined the band in 1986 on guitar and made the DEATHRASH sound even more intense. DEATHRASH are recognized in the books "A to Z of Thrash Metal" and "Thrash Metal" for our role in the underground metal movement of the mid 80's. Known for our breakneck live performances, DEATHRASH has shared the bill with such acts as WHIPLASH, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, HALLOWS EVE, MASSACRE, SHEER TERROR, CALIGULA, DOOMWATCH, WITHOUT END, BROKEN HEROES, CASTROFATE and others. In 1987, on the verge of recording our second demo "No One Is Innocent" and with contracts in negotiation the group disbanded.
In 2005 the band reunited with all the original members and are in the process of recording "THRASH BEYOND DEATH", which will feature the "Faces Of Death" demo, "Live at CBGB's 8/10/86" and new material including a 2008 version of the song "Buried Alive". On 1/16/09 DEATHRASH played our first show in over 20 years and it RAGED!!! For release updates, band info and merchandise check out DEATHRASH.NET.
