Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which New York thrash band featured identical twins?

Answer: Blessed Death

Both ugly as sin, but they did a sterling job in this criminally ignored band.

2. Why didn't Canadian legends Voivod perform at the Leeds Christmas On Earth gig in 1987?

Answer: visa problems

And what a shame it was. Great gig anyway, but many of us had forked out just to see them.

3. Who designed the Hirax logo?

Answer: Tom G. Warrior

Hugely underrated act, mental vocals and intense thrashing.

4. Which English doom/thrash band featured folk involved in The Varukers and English Dogs?

Answer: Sacrilege

Any fan of 80s thrash has to check out "Where Legend Began", and earlier stuff for those who are keen on punky metal.

5. Which Canadian band did Chuck "Death" Shuldiner briefly join?

Answer: Slaughter

Could have been a match made in Valhalla.

6. Which seminal band did Paul Speckmann record with before Master?

Answer: Death Strike

Anything connected to Speckamann, or associated bands is not going to disappoint. Death Strike was formed in Chicago, IL in 1984.

7. Which German thrash band sang about "Chemical Invasion"?

Answer: Tankard

Pints for the lads....
Tankard has been associated with their love of beer, ale, lager...basically anything with alcohol actually. "Chemical Invasion" was released in 1987 on Noise Records.

8. Which Italian thrash band relocated to Yorkshire, England, due to the lack of a scene in Italy?

Answer: Lord Crucifier

Decent crew, shame they came to nothing after a few low-key releases including 1988's "The Focus of Life".

9. Which metal vocalist almost had a career as a professional football player?

He could have scored some screamers. King Diamond was born Kin Bendix Petersen in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Larry "Ler" LaLonde was both a member of the bands Primus and Possessed. Larry was once a student of Joe Satriani's.
