INTRODUCTION
I've been rattling my brain goo to Living Death since the release of
their "Metal Revolution" album and consider myself their biggest fan. Unfortunately they
remained a very elusive band and I had considerable trouble finding anything at all about
them. When I finally got on the Internet I was extremely disappointed that there wasn't a
single website dedicated to their name. Even the biggest metal sites, which did nothing more than
casually mention them, were riddled with errors and inconsistancies. So if they can't
get it right then I will. Anyways, enjoy this site.

A FINAL DISTORTED NOTE (the end of an era)
After going through a major line-up change and releasing their final album "Killing in Action", Living Death unfortunately disbanded
some time in 1991 or '92. It is not clear whether they reformed under a new name or simply ended their career, but I would like to
express my thanks to the band, and all musicians who participated, for unleashing the best speed/thrash metal that ever shook
this planet.
Though Living Death's decade reign seems short, let its spirit live on through dedicated fans and record companies willing to reissue
album releases.
