Not very obscure, but Deathwish are amazing. The first album is a masterpiece.

Federal Threat.

They are a band from kinda round my area, I've seen them twice and the song on their Myspace called Some Can't Wait to Die is brilliant. The vocals sound like a perfect cross between Dave Mustaine, James Hetfield and Tom Araya; when me and my mate's first saw them we couldn't believe the voice coming out of this guy! They slay live. During the sound check we thought they were playing slayer or metallica or something but it was their own stuff! I don't think the Myspace songs do them justice and I've gone on long enough but yeah this band rocks.

Does anyone know / remember them?

I would kill to get a CD.

Fooking YES. KILLER band. I recorded their 4-song session off the Friday Rock Show (RIP Tommy), and I will still have it on tape somewhere. Jesus Christ knows where. One day I hope to discover it.

They were from the town I grew up in. The one known as 'South Shields'.

Isn`t U.K. Thrash obscure by nature?!??
*peace*

I probably wouldn't kill to get a recording of that session, but I would pay a very large sum of money. I played lead guitar in State of Shock from '98-'92, including that session which was recorded at the BBC's Maida Vale studio. Didn't get to met Tommy Vance sadly, but he raved about our demo, and the subsequent session, and seemed to like it enough to broadcast it twice.

Unfortunately, soon after, we were completely ripped off by a bogus management company, and never managed to get that record deal we surely deserved. I spent a bit of time in another Newcastle band, "Whatever", before ditching the music industry for good. Very happy days in State of Shock though, especially the tour we did with Xentrix.

That first part is getting sigged As for the worst UKT band, it's blatently Vindicator.

Surprised to see a thread like this on here actually. A bunch of the 'lesser known' bands that immediately come to mind are Sacrilege, Pandemia, Hydra Vein, Arbitrater, Energetic Krusher, Anihilated, Xyster, D.A.M, Seventh Angel, Amnesia and of course the almighty Deathwish. But even those came across as kind of mandatory listening for the most part... Xyster, Pandemia, Amnesia and Energetic Krusher aren't bands that would usually come up in conversation but Deathwish, Anihilated and Seventh Angel are brought up once in awhile.

Now that that's over with, Deathwish. Again. Just... Deathwish.
