Hey fellow Jersey natives (Ult, mc666)...ever heard of this band/album? I didn't till a couple of hours ago when I came across this CD (CALL THIS PLANET...SLAUGHTERED GRACE) at a church flea market, of all places.
I did some Metal Archives research and it seems that Slaughtered Grace hailed from Lodi NJ, home of the Misfits, and I guess they were buddies. S.G. originally released CALL THIS PLANET... as a demo tape in 1989, then it was pressed to CD in 1990 by Cyclopean Music (the Misfits' record label at the time).
Their only release after this was a single called "Terror Unleashed," then the band members formed Sardonica (them I
have heard of), who've also been associated with the Misfits for years (opening shows for them, releasing stuff on the Misfits' label, etc.)
Haven't had a chance to listen to the whole disc yet but it seems like pretty decent (if a bit generic) thrash, with punk-ish vocals. Speaking of Generic, look at that album cover. Haha. Looks like a photo of one of the oil refineries along the NJ turnpike with a kids' drawing of Satan superimposed on it.
Samples:
Seven tracks of thrashin' fury with a run time of less than twenty minutes. Not a bad find for two bucks, I guess....
