Tension

Originally formed simply because Deuce in 1978 simply by guitarists Tom Gattis and future Megadeth/Cacophony virtuoso Marty Friedman, Maryland-based rock band Tension (never to be confused using the punk rockers from the same name) had undergone numerous transformations simply by enough time they unveiled their 1986 speed metal debut album, Breaking Stage. Featuring Gattis on vocals, guitarist Timmy Meadows, bassist Tim O’Connor, and drummer Billy Giddings, Stress failed to stick out from the thrash steel pack, and Gattis ultimately transferred onto another task called Wardog, and afterwards Ballistic.
