Distinguished from several more prominent acts that have shared the name Damien, this fleeting Swedish group merits attention for issuing Requiem for the Dead, a 1983 EP that ranks among the first Scandinavian ventures into thrash metal. After the release, vocalist Tommie Agrippa and bassist Marty Marteen went on to join the better-known thrash outfit Hexenhaus, while guitarist Laurence West and drummer Mike Thorn receded into anonymity. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
