Not that you guys didn't already know this, but the official press release went out today.
When people reflect on the Florida metal scene of the late 80s and early 90s, groups like DEATH, OBITUARY and SOLSTICE instantly spring to mind. Yet theres one band that, despite never achieving the same glory some of their contemporaries enjoyed, is still adored and respected amongst cultist metal fans all these years later. Were talking about Lake Worth thrash heathens RAPED APE.
Named after car mechanic slang for a motor that runs hard and fast, RAPED APE did precisely that within the South Florida metal scene, releasing three demos (1988s In Ape We Trust, 1990s Perpetual Aggravation and 1991s Lost In Mind) and playing shows with some of the biggest heavy bands at that time (SEPULTURA, BIOHAZARD, CORONER, MORBID ANGEL and many more).
Eventually, the group entered the famed Morrisound Recording studios with producer extraordinaire Scott Burns to track their Independent EP, 1993s Terminal Reality. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, this new Divebomb Records collection combines not only the original Terminal Reality EP, but also four of the bands long sought-after demo tapes, all of which culminated in their signing to Century Media Records.
A must-own for any fan of underground thrash, this Land Of Broken Promises limited edition set contains brand new mastering from original source tapes and a massive 16-page booklet with member-supplied scrapbook styled memorabilia encompassing RAPED APEs entire history. As a bonus, Divebomb Records has included an enhanced portion containing seven archival live videos of the band in their prime.
