HIRAX

 

HIRAX began in Los Angeles in 1984, but because of the weak metal scene in their area, they spent most of their time playing in San Francisco along with Slayer, Metallica, and Exodus, who were all part of the exciting new metal emerging from the Bay area. The original lineup was Katon W. De Pena (vocals), Bob Savage (guitar), Gary Monardo (bass), and Brian Keith (drums). They released a four-song demo in 1984. Their songs at the time were more similar to the metal bands such as Saxon, Tygers of Pan Tang, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal period. This demo was widely circulated and the band became known and respected worldwide through the metal tape trading underground. Later in '84, guitarist Scott Owen and drummer John Tabares replaced Savage and Keith. Influenced by such great acts as Motorhead, Anvil, and Venom, Vocalist De Pena wanted the band to go in a heavier and faster direction musically; and HIRAX's thrash metal style was born.

 

WEHRMACHT

 

In the mid-80s when most  bands in America were copying either Poison or Motley Crue, a group of teenagers from PORTLAND OREGON  set out to create some of the fastest,unique,vicious & fun Metal in the world..Coining the phrase "SPEEDCORE", a psychotic hybrid  of Speed Metal and Hardcore Punk.   Imagine DESTRUCTION/SLAYER style Metal riffing fused with the chaos of Hardcore acts like G.B.H.,DISCHARGE, RAW POWER & D.R.I. to name just a few.
