Death Mask

Anyone familiar with this 80s speed metal band? I found out about them from a movie I saw years go called Zombie Nightmare, for which they contribute a song to (along with a plethora of other heavy metal bands like Girlschool and Motorhead.) They only released one LP entitled Split the Atom, it's actually pretty decent stuff, comparable to Exciter. My girlfriend was nice enough to find me the original LP. Unfortunately it isn't on CD but I had someone digitally transfer it for me.

I have that album on vinyl. It was produced by JOHN MIKL THOR, one of my all time heroes. I always loved this album because it sounded so much like EXCITER.
About the movie, i love it very much. Great soundtrack but bad acting lol. Still a cult underground classic.
HAIL TO YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS BAND.

If there's one thing I love as much as heavy metal, it's horror movies -- especially the bad ones. Zombie Nightmare is one of my favorites, it's so much fun. The scene near the beginning when the lead punk throws spaghetti at his mom is priceless! It's so 80s and the soundtrack is incredible. I didn't enjoy Thor's next one, Rock N' Roll Nightmare quite as much, though.

Can't forget to mention Adam West in this either...

I'm not familiar with that site but I am familiar with many of the movies he has on there. The guy who runs the site is apparently a huge fan of Rocktober Blood, which just so happens to be my personal favorite rock n' roll horror flick. I rented it probably a decade ago and thought it was mediocre at best but when I had the chance to purchase an ex-rental tape for cheap, I watched it again and had a newfound love for it. I've since seen it maybe 10 times. New Year's Evil is another fun one.

Some of the ones like Blood Tracks, Dreamaniac, Hard Rock Zombies, Monster Dog and Terror on Tour are pretty damn bad though. And they dubbed Alice Cooper's voice in Monster Dog which really sucked.
