Biography

Death Strike is one of the founding fathers of Death Metal. Date Of Formation : 19th September 1984

Rudimentary war-machine music from the city, Death Strike was one of the first ventures into the sound and composition of death metal as a separate genre, and although here not fully developed as demonstrated by the half-growled vocals and full-on punk riffs, still represents the forging of the elements to what would become "death metal."

Fundamental elements battle it out in old-style heavy metal riffs removed from any context of harmony and hybridized with Discharge- or Exploited-era hardcore into a bass-intense weather front which consumes as it advances. The random and violent body-in-motion rhythms present an unstable phrase which is each case is matched with the morbid certainty of its counterpart motion, creating an instability which favors the inevitable and dominant death awaiting each of us.
