DECLASSIFIED INFORMATION:
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 1991 - 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!
