On March 4th, the label will release Sindrome’s two only studio recordings - the highly influential Into The Halls Of Extermination (1987) and its congenial successor Vault Of Inner Conscience (1991). Farther from the bright lights, Sindrome drummer Tony Ochoa plays in an aggressive modern rock-type band called Servitude.Century Media announces the co-operation with Chicago thrash/death metal legends Sindrome. Bassist Shaun Glass went on to death metal stalwarts Broken Hope, then formed the alterna-metal act Soil in 1997, and recently left Soil for the more aggressive Dirge. The first demo was remixed in 1992 at Morrisound and re-released with a new cover - this is that version. Four years later, there was another demo, “Vault of Inner Conscience.” They were still better than lots of signed thrash acts, and a little more interesting, but for whatever reason - inflated expectations, poor timing, geography - they never managed to release a full album.įortunately, in 2002 someone from the band registered the Sindrome domain and uploaded full MP3s of Sindrome’s “Into the Halls of Extermination” and “Vault of Inner Conscience” demo tapes. They sat out the first wave of small potato record label offerings, but failed to land an expected plum spot on the Combat or Roadrunner roster. Though Sindrome were in touch with the times commercially and musically, nothing more happened. (And why not? Terrorizer were highly indebted to Master, Deathstrike, and Devastation.) That first demo “Into the Halls of Extermination” launched an impressive underground career - most bands today would love to sell 10,000 of anything - on the basis of tough, Dark Angel-style thrash with a corroded Venom influence and even some touches of Terrorizer. Chicago area deathly thrashers Sindrome arrived with much fanfare in 1987, boasting formidable studio sound that rivaled most thrash vinyl of the day, a swanky color cassette cover, and a laundry list of resume credits that included legendary underground names like Master, Deathstrike, and Devastation (IL). In the heat of the late 1980s thrash demo trading fever, yes, it was possible to have a super-group of members from bands that were little more than demo acts themselves.
