Rockland County, NY thrash act OUT OF DARKNESS formed in 1990 when three-fifths of the lineup of Sadistik Ritual—guitarists Jon Ciorciari and Greg Paravati with drummer Forrest Leighton—soldiered on with ex-Prowler bassist Sean Weiss and former Torment vocalist Ron Roshong. As OUT OF DARKNESS, the quintet further progressed their foundation into an even more interesting brand of thrash metal that combined quirky and technical riffing with both melody and hard-hitting crunch.
OUT OF DARKNESS is perhaps most-remembered for their debut four-song demo in 1991, recorded at Phoenix Studios; but issued a number of other recordings in the years that followed—including sessions with Steve Evetts at Trax East in Sayreville, NJ. The group also performed live alongside everyone from Nuclear Assault and Overkill to Danzig and Pantera. All of this resulted in marginal interest from record labels, but never quite secured a deal. Thus, OUT OF DARKNESS faded away in the mid-'90s—yet another thrash act of the era with a wealth of material that was largely lost to time...
...until now. Divebomb Records is thrilled to announce the impending release of the complete discography from OUT OF DARKNESS—totaling 16 songs/70 minutes spanning a number of sessions throughout 1990 - 1994. Fully remastered by Jamie King Audio, the limited edition CD will be packaged alongside a 20-page booklet including assorted ephemera, lyrics and a retrospective interview with the band. For the fans, by the fans!

BOOTCAMP SERIES #49
DECLASSIFIED INFORMATION:
WARFARE D.C. took shape during the late-80s, formed from the remnants of little-known Daly City, CA metal unit Armament when drummer Will Carroll and guitarist Ted Aguilar joined forces with Teds older brother, Rob, on bass. With the intention of moving in a more intense and thrash-centric direction, the trio quickly worked toward tracking a raw, two-song demo at the Machine Shop in San Francisco.
Having honed their crunchy, energetic brand of crossover-esque thrash with Rob and Ted splitting vocal duties, WARFARE D.C. hit Audio Voyage Studios later in 1990 for the four-song Lethal Injection demo. Produced by Sean Killian from Vio-lence with engineer Doug Mann—and utilizing some of Vio-lences gear in the process—the new material was recorded and mixed in just two days. A far stronger example of the groups crisp, hard-hitting attack, Lethal Injection was more than enough to begin creating a local buzz throughout the Bay Area.
At that time, WARFARE D.C. was joined by second guitarist Chris Wise, formerly of Epitaph. Another four-song demo, Victims, was then recorded at Dreamland Productions in 1991, produced by Nick Felczer and Mike Wells (both from Wrekking Machine). Boasting more professional artwork as well as a concept behind the lyrical direction, Victims found the bands sound taking on a darker tone—in part inspired by groundbreaking works from acts like Sepultura and Suffocation—with more technical riffing and a more sinister and aggressive vocal approach.
Having been involved with such a legendary era of the Bay Area thrash scene, WARFARE D.C. was fortunate enough to have performed with the likes of Vio-lence, Forbidden, The Organization, Prong, Death, and many more. Despite nibbles from labels, however, the band never secured the opportunity to record an album. Frustrations and turmoil within the lineup brought things to a close by early-1993, though Ted and Will continued into the mid-90s with Brood (and became bandmates again years later alongside their old friends in Death Angel).
30-plus years later, Divebomb Records is eager to present Reflection: a CD compiling WARFARE D.C.s Lethal Injection and Victims demos, completely remixed and remastered, with the original 90s mixes as bonus tracks. This long overdue collection will be packaged with a 20-page booklet including photos, flyers, lyrics, and an extensive retrospective interview with the entire band. For the fans, by the fans!
