BLESSED DEATH arrived on the metal scene in the 1984. They released their debut album 'KILL OR BE KILLED' in 1985 (currently out of print) which featured their own unique blend of heavy speed, power, death and destruction. The album quickly gained a lot of attention among the underground scene, especially in Europe. It has grown to be an 80's thrash metal classic featuring a song that has become somewhat of a legend and metal anthem 'Knights of Old Bridge'.

Two years later BLESSED DEATH released their second album 'DESTINED FOR EXTINCTION' in 1987 (also currently out of print). This album took on a much more extreme and aggressive direction than the first, featuring an all out onslaught of furious thrash speed metal while still retaining their signature heavy doom laden edge.

BLESSED DEATHs' latest release 'HOUR OF PAIN' was actually recorded back in 1991. They disbanded shortly thereafter in 1992, and as a result of their departure, along with other problems, the recording was never released. 15 years later, after an ever growing demand from emails and message board posts, the band decided to independently release their final work.

'HOUR OF PAIN' is a true to life representation of what the band was experiencing and feeling at that point in their lives. The collapse of the Berlin Wall, the growing threat of terrorism, war, Earths' destiny as a result of mankind's wasteful and destructive nature, the rising population of "phony" people with delusional self-centered notions of what life is about, and a general discontent for modern society.
