Lethal Aggression

A

sbury Park, New Jersey band Lethal Aggression would perform a style of hardcore thrash metal. Starting with the membership of John Saltz (vocals; R.I.P. 2016), George Yeck (bass), Rob De Froscia (guitar) and Ken Lund (drums) they would release From the Cunt of the Fucking Whore (1985) [yes, that is the Real Name of the record and we are not censoring it... so don't bother writing us...], along with the much more G-Rated title of simply Demo 1986 (1986). They would then receive a presence on the Complete Death II (1987) compilation.

Studio recordings proper would follow in 1988 with Life Is Hard... but That's No Excuse at All!, Subliminal Erosion EP (1990) and Just Killed rock 'n Roll II EP (1991); the last three featuring Dave Gutierrez on guitars in place of Froscia.

The first demo's rather unpleasant name was recycled for a compilation platter in 2001, a record that would celebrate the band's history in preparation for their re-launch that same year. A round of new demos would emerge until the compilation, Life Is Hard... (2007) and Ad Nauseum (2009) under the membership of Charlie Taylor (bass), Nathan Allen (drums), Derek Beekman (guitars), Ravi Reddy (guitars) and John Saltz (vocals). After a split album and another demo, the act would disburse after the death of John Saltz in 2016.
