Damien

This short-lived Swedish outfit isn’t to be puzzled with several other higher-profile rings called Damien, but is notable for liberating among the earliest Scandinavian attempts at thrash steel 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 Western and drummer Mike Thorn vanished into obscurity.
