I bought Metal Massacre II/III when it came out in early ’83 at Rebel Records in Santa Rosa.CA (this place was across from Santa Rosa High School,which is the school they filmed exteriors for “Peggy Sue Got Married” and is the same town they filmed “Scream” (first one ) in. I had enough cash that day to either buy this compo tape or Metallica’s “kill ‘em all” on vinyl… Chose the compo!! Never regretted it ’cause now its vastly more rare. Armored Saint,Pantera when they were still “Motley Crue”-Hair metal,and My Personal Fave–Aloha-”Heavy Metal Virgin”

the riff of the “dead of the night” is pretty amazing but what happened to the singer?

I agree. Since I first heard the song on Metal Massacre, it has also haunted me. I purchased the E.P when it came out and was horrified by the other two songs on the album, which kinda suck. This group is getting bad reviews on retro metal websites. But reguardless, “The dead of the night” it one of my favorite songs of all time.

Oh, maan….I dunno what Brian Slagel was thinking (of course I ask myself the same question when he put out shite like Galagatic Cowboys). They only had one great song. Those “nuts in the vice” vox are horrid!

Still, “Search & Destroy” was the first D.F. song I heard. It’s too bad they didn’t write a few more like it. I heard it on the early Metal Blade comp “Total Destruction” – the first time listening to Slayer and Trouble.

Choice moment of Demon Flight’s “S&D”

“Draw yer sworrdd! ROrrrrrrr!”
