Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which New York thrash band featured identical twins?

Answer: Blessed Death

Both ugly as sin, but they did a sterling job in this criminally ignored band.

2. Why didn't Canadian legends Voivod perform at the Leeds Christmas On Earth gig in 1987?

Answer: visa problems

And what a shame it was. Great gig anyway, but many of us had forked out just to see them.

3. Who designed the Hirax logo?

Answer: Tom G. Warrior

Hugely underrated act, mental vocals and intense thrashing.

4. Which English doom/thrash band featured folk involved in The Varukers and English Dogs?

Answer: Sacrilege

Any fan of 80s thrash has to check out "Where Legend Began", and earlier stuff for those who are keen on punky metal.

Answer: Slaughter

Could have been a match made in Valhalla.

Pints for the lads....
Tankard has been associated with their love of beer, ale, lager...basically anything with alcohol actually. "Chemical Invasion" was released in 1987 on Noise Records.
