Post Mortem

Bio:

Post Mortem was formed on March 22, 1982, in the outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts. The definitive line-up was finally settled on in early 1985. This consisted of: John McCarthy (vocals), John Alexander (guitar), Mark Kelley (bass) and Rick McIver (drums). Their first album, "Coroner's Office" was released in 1986 on New Renaissance records, followed in 1987 by the EP, "The Missing Link" on the same label. In 1989 "Festival of Fun" was recorded, but was deemed as too inaccessible by the label it was recorded for and was eventually released on LP and CD. In the early 90’s Red Light records re-issued "Coroner's Office" & "Festival of Fun", as well as the brand new "Destined for Failure" on CD. The sound quality was so horrible on these CD's we considered cult suicide, but limped on wearily. We toured a lot & split up in 1994. Oh yeah, we'll make a new one when our lives are in sync.....logistics, y'know?

WARNING
STOP BUYING THE RED LIGHT CD'S - THEY ARE SHITLEGS....VINYL IS FINE..............WE GET NO $$$$$$$$$ FROM THESE PURCHASES, THE KIND FOLKS YOU BUY THEM FROM DO, SO FILE ALL COMPLAINTS THEIR WAY..........WE'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE RE-ISSUES ARE AVAILABLE...COULD BE AWHILE................................... ..
