Biography

This short-lived Swedish outfit is not to be confused with various other higher-profile bands named Damien, but is notable for releasing one of the earliest Scandinavian attempts at thrash metal via 1983's Requiem for the Dead EP. Subsequently, vocalist Tommie Agrippa and bassist Marty Marteen would resurface in better-known thrashers Hexenhaus, but guitarist Laurence West and drummer Mike Thorn vanished into obscurity. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
