Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which band was formerly known as Tormentor before changing their name and becoming one of Germany's leading thrashers?

Answer: Kreator

They released two demos while known as Tormentor then changed their name to Kreator in 1984 and continued on to new thrash heights in Germany and abroad.
2. This bands vinyl debut was a mini-LP which featured a photo of the band on the cover. Who is it?

Answer: Destruction

Released in 1985, Destruction's debut was the "Sentence Of Death" mini-LP featuring a photo of the three band members in leather, chains, bullet-belts and armbands laying around an opened crypt with a skeleton arm sticking out. Classic speed metal!
3. Which of these is NOT a title of a Sodom album?

Answer: Nuclear Winter

"Nuclear Winter" is a song on "Persecution Mania", but it's not an album title.
4. This band shares a name with a glam rock band from the USA in the late 1980s. They released a mini-LP "First Strike" and an LP "The Enforcer". Which band is this?

Answer: Warrant

A great band. Definitely for fans of early Iron Angel and Running Wild; they're similar.
Ignore those glam pansies Warrant and their "Cherry Pie" nonsense.
5. This obscure band released a classic album in 1985 including song titles like "Legions of Evil", "Metallian", "Nightmare", "Black Mass" and "Rush of Power". Who is it?

Answer: Iron Angel

The album was called "Hellish Crossfire".
6. Darkness released three albums. What was the name of their third LP?

Answer: Conclusion and Revival

"Death Squad" was the debut LP from 1987 and "Defenders of Justice" was the second LP from 1988. The third and last album came out in 1989. "Iron Force" is a song on the debut LP.
7. This bands first two albums were great evil power speed metal before they became pirates. Which band was this?

Answer: Running Wild

The first two Running Wild albums are my favorites: "Gates To Purgatory" from 1984 and "Branded & Exiled" from 1985 with the classic song "Marching to Die"! Excellent stuff. Sacred Chao was the post-Living Death band that, in my opinion, was never as good as Living Death.
8. The following two album titles belong to which band: "Metal Revolution" and "Protected From Reality"?

Answer: Living Death

A great underrated German band- their other great LP is "Vengeance of Hell".
9. This bands debut LP is entitled "Possessed By Fire". Who is it?

Answer: Exumer

I threw in the correctly spelled Exhumer just to try and confuse you. This German band purposely misspelled their name EXUMER and this was their excellent 1986 debut album.
10. These are all song titles for which band: "Death Trap", "Antichrist", "Eternal Ban", "Black Death", "Tormentor", "Life Without Sense" and "Incriminated"?

Answer: Destruction

All are from the first four releases by Destruction, one of Germany's best speed metal bands ever!
