Aftermath (American band)
Aftermath is an American thrash metal band from Chicago that formed in 1985. They have released three studio albums under two monikers and been involved in several compilation projects. They subsequently changed their name to Mother God Moviestar in 1998 after a trademark dispute with Dr. Dre in which the court found that both could use the name. The band reformed as Aftermath in 2015.
Aftermath was a Chicago-based thrash metal band during the 1980s and 1990s. Its demos landed them in metal magazines, including Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, RIP Magazine, Raw, and Metal Forces.
Its Words that Echo Fear demo was selected as one of Kerrang! 's Top 10 demos of 1990. The band's debut Eyes of Tomorrow has been released by multiple labels during the years and their demos continue to generate interest and fans around the world evidenced by the two reissues on Shadow Kingdom Records and Divebomb Records.
Having reunited in 2015, the band played the Ragnarokkr Metal Apocalypse festival in Chicago in May and Headbanger's Open Air festival in Hamburg, Germany in July. Celebrating 30 years since their formation, the band reissued their Eyes of Tomorrow debut album on Shadow Kingdom Records on September 4, 2015. The remastered version by Paul Logus (Pantera, Anthrax) includes an expanded booklet and four bonus tracks. In October, Divebomb Records reissued Killing the Future along with five bonus tracks and expanded booklet, once again remastered by Paul Logus .
Chicago based Aftermath, fronted by the Greece born Kyriakos "Charlie" Tsiolis, formed in October 1985 when Charlie and his schoolmate Steve Sacco (guitar) got together. This early incarnation with Adam (bass) and Ray Schmidt (drums) issued their first demo called 'Sentenced To Death' in 1986 featuring 'Sentenced to Death', 'Revenge', 'Shotgun' and 'The Aftermath'.
In 1987, they unleashed their second demo entitled 'Killing The Future' featuring the tracks 'When Will You Die', 'Going No Place', 'Chaos', 'Meltdown' and 'War For Freedom'.
The tracks "War For Freedom" and "When Will You Die" were both featured on the British 'Metal Forces' magazine compilation LP 'Demolition: Scream Your Brains Out' in 1988 Metal Forces. The LP featured tracks from Leviathan (Chris Barnes (Six Feet Under) on vocals), Hobbs' Angel Of Death, Anacrusis & Atrophy. The appearance on the Metal Forces' compilation further expanded the band's international appeal.
By 1988, the musical direction was changing, and Adam's raw and simple bass lines would soon be replaced with complex and technical bass parts handled at first by John Lovette. Ironically, John never played bass on any Aftermath recording and was not even a bass player. However, he wanted to join the band so badly, he came to the audition with a friend's bass he had just started to play. The speed and complex playing he displayed was something none of the members had seen before on bass. He landed the gig that day. When the band decided it was time to add a second guitarist, Lovette told his bandmates of his desire to switch to guitar and for the first time he came clean, he was a guitar player pretending to be a bass player all along. His guitar skills surpassed his bass playing, the band found its second guitar player, but unfortunately, the search for a bass player was back on. Luckily, the search (for the time being, anyway) ended with Danny Vega. His playing complemented the guitar playing of Lovette and Sacco and worked with Schmidt's drumming. With Lovette handling most songwriting duties, Aftermath was about to undergo a musical change.
