Welcome to The Galley, the most complete and extensive website to ultimate 80's thrash
band Living Death . Though disbanded since the early 90's this website is dedicated to keeping
the spirit of Living Death alive and thrashing and providing fans with a source for information while promoting
the band to others who happen to stumble upon this site or want to know what Living Death was all about. From Velbert,Germany, Living Death entered the metal scene in the early 80's and had a carrer spaning some 10 years, in that time releaseing five LP's, four EP's (including a live album), went through many line-up changes and appeared in other projects such as early Mekong Delta and the X-Mas Project. Starting out as simple power metal with catchy rifts and an exteme vocalist, Living Death grew in intensity and speed until the release of "Protected From Reality", an ultimate thrash album, at the height of their career. "Worlds Neuroses" was quite a radically different change in both style and vocals. Unfortunately soon after Living Death either disbanded and reformed and/or went through a major line-up change maintaining only two of its original members, the Kelch brothers, and released one final album "Killing in Action"; a return to Living Death's speed/thrash metal style and a very heavy album but a somewhat weaker release compared to other previous stuff. 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. Long-live 80's metal! Enjoy this site. |
