Malachi (15)

Released the song "The Kirtland Revolution" on "Distant Thunder: Sounds Of The Cleveland Metal Storm" (1990), although the credits on the tape listed the song as "The Kirtland Experience". Played a lot of shows and developed a large local following, especially considering the small town they hailed from. After successful gigs with local acts Vatican, The Bastard Squad, Advocate, Blessed Sickness, Ludaci, Seductive Blasphemy and others around Northeast Ohio they released 2 studio-recorded demos, the 1990 "Malachi" demo was part of the Underground Express Records Demo Series (others with tapes released on the series include Severe Warning, Mutant Soldier, Roadies Nightmare and many others). By 1991 they had become very well known, especially around their small hometown of Wooster Ohio, they were the only Heavy Metal band in the area so they got multi-page bio's and concert reviews written in local newspapers, they would travel to Cleveland to play with other local acts mentioned above, or play alone in Wooster, with Josh Neptune drumming and singing simultaneously through the entirety of their 2 hour headlining sets.
