05/15/08 – DEATHRASH on NY ROCKS TV!!!
Last Thursday DEATHRASH made our first appearance in 20 years! We journeyed out to Staten Island to perform on the NY ROCKS TV cable show and it went great! Our old friend Frank introduced us and we played "Unfinished Business", "Feel You Die", "Buried Alive", "Heart Of The Darkness", "Thrash Beyond Death" and "Blood For Blood". The show is being edited and will be shown on Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island and Staten Island cable TV soon- we'll let you know when!

We would also like to thank Shannon, Jason, Rich, Bo, Scott, Todd, Will, Dave, Rodney, Cassandra, Maddie, Amanda, Ken and everyone else who came out to support us. Hearing everyone shouting the chorus to "Blood For Blood" was awesome!!! Videos of the show will be posted soon!

We have added the song "Lockjaw" to our Myspace page. It is a live version from our 8/10/86 CBGB's show and will be on our "THRASH BEYOND DEATH" CD, which will be out this year. "Lockjaw" was the first song on our "Faces Of Death" demo and has always been a fan favorite. Hope you enjoy it!

5/02/07 – "Blood For Blood" LIVE! 12/21/86
We have posted a live version of the song "Blood For Blood" on our MySpace page. "Blood For Blood" was many peoples favorite track off the "Faces Of Death" demo- this version was recorded at The Grunge Club in Middletown NY on 12/21/86. It was taped from the audience by a fan so the quality is not as good as a soundboard recording would be, but the performance rages and you can hear the whole crowd screaming the chorus. This track will not be appearing on the "Thrash Beyond Death" CD but is available through our online store.

3/07/07 – "A Time To Slay" LIVE! 8/10/86
We've posted "A Time To Slay" from our 8/10/86 show at the legendary CBGB's. It was our first BIG show and we were opening for NUCLEAR ASSAULT and SHEER TERROR at a Sunday Hardcore Matinee. Tommy Victor of PRONG was doing the sound and we wisely invested the $20 for a soundboard tape. Things I remember about that show are our equipment barely fitting on the stage, being so loud the owners were pissed at us and getting a great response from the crowd. This track as well as the rest of that CBGB's show will be on the "Thrash Beyond Death" CD.

1/20/07 – DEATHRASH video found!
We got word last weekend that a video from our 9/27/86 show at The Grunge Club has surfaced! This is excellent news as we have been looking for a copy since we got back together. We are going to have it transferred to DVD and post some songs on our website and myspace page. The Grunge Club was a warehouse in Middletown NY where our old friend Mark Johnson used to put on shows. We played there a few times and it always RAGED! The shows really captured the DIY spirit of the times- no stage, no light show, no bullshit. Just original bands giving it all they've got for a couple of hundred crazed thrashers! Tracks from our Grunge Club shows will be on the "Thrash Beyond Death" CD. We'll keep you informed as things develop with the CD and video postings!

1/07/07 – "Feel You Die" LIVE! 12/21/86
Check out the recently-posted track, "Feel You Die," which is just one of the live tracks that will be appearing on our CD, "Thrash Beyond Death." This fan recording is from a 12/21/86 show we did with CALIGULA and HALLOWS EVE at The Grunge Club in Middletown, New York. The show thrashed and you can hear the crowd backing up John as he screams "Feel You Die!" Although we wish the sound quality was better, our good friend Dave Shack really caught the spirit of the show. Of all the times we played The Grunge Club, this show was our favorite. Tapes of the show have been traded by collectors over the years, but this is the first time it has been released by DEATHRASH. Let us know what you think!

12/09/06 – Weekend...
Hey everybody, we got together last weekend and fucking KILLED! We ripped through all the DEATHRASH classics, but "Feel You Die", "A Time To Slay" and "Heart Of The Darkness" have NEVER sounded better. Wait till you hear the new tracks "Thrash Beyond Death" and "Unfinished Business"- jaws are going to drop. We are mixing live tracks next weekend and should have another song posted shortly. I want to thank everyone for their continued support and KNOW you won't be disappointed!

10/02/06 – "Buried Alive On Myspace"
As you can see, we have added our song "Buried Alive" to our MySpace page. This is a remixed version of the song that was originally recorded 2/01/86 for our "Faces Of Death" demo tape. The song also appeared on the 1987 New Renaissance Records release "SPEED METAL HELL 2". At the time we had no drummer so we asked our friend Tony Scaglione (WHIPLASH/SLAYER/NORTH SIDE KINGS) to help us out and I'm still impressed with the job he did! This track and the updated 2006 version of "Buried Alive" will appear on our forthcoming CD "Thrash Beyond Death".

9/30/06 – "Faces of Death" demo remix
Nemo and Tim went into Mix-O-Lydian Studios in north Jersey today and remixed our 1986 "Faces Of Death" demo. The results are awesome, it has never sounded this good. We had to have the original master tapes converted to digital files and then remix those files using current technology. It took some time and money but the results are worth it. When the demo originally came out it was met with great reviews and basically put DEATHRASH on the map. It was voted #6 demo of the year in the 1986 Metal Forces readers poll. We sold thousands of them! Now we are going to be mixing the live material from '86-'87 and recording the new stuff. We will have the results posted soon!

9/19/06 – DEATHRASH has a 'new' drummer!!!
Actually it is our first drummer Marc Grossman. Marc and I started the band in 1985 and then Marc left in 1986 to pursue other interests. That's why we had Tony Scaglione (WHIPLASH/SLAYER) fill in on drums for the "Faces Of Death" demo. Marc came up to NJ last weekend and for the first time in 19 years DEATHRASH played with a full line up. It was awesome!!! We went through DEATHRASH classics such as "Lockjaw", "Feel You Die", "Buried Alive", "Heart Of The Darkness", "A Time To Slay" and "Blood For Blood". With the full band tearing it up and John out front singing it sounded better than ever. Now that Marc is back in the band we are going to start recording the new tracks "Unfinished Business", "Thrash Beyond Death" and the updated "Buried Alive" for the "Thrash Beyond Death" CD.
