美国老牌激流Gammacide,成立于1986年,虽然只在1989年出过一张正式专辑,但在thrashers中却拥有不错的评价。他们的音乐吸引人的地方既不是优美抒情的旋律也不是华丽的炫技,而是猛烈迅疾的下切与敲击,特别是高频率的blast beats,很直接地带动你甩头。发扬了slayer,dark angel,sadus等大牛团的brutal thrash精神,成为80年代末的经典。

Comprising vocalist Varnam Ponville, guitarists Scott Shelby and Rick Perry, bassist Eric Roy, and drummer Jamey Milford, Arlington, TX, band Gammacide emerged during the late-'80s thrash metal craze and managed just one album, 1989's Victims of Science, before going their separate ways. Guitarist Perry later joined an industrial metal band called Puncture, while Ponville and Shelby moved to Louisiana and formed another thrash group, Cauldron, releasing a pair of late-'90s albums. Gammacide's sole LP, Victims of Science, would be reissued in 2004 with six bonus tracks.
