Biography

(1996 – 2003, 2005 – 2005)

Deathreat were formed in Memphis in 1996 as an attempt by members of His Hero Is Gone and friends to do a more back to basics, straight ahead hardcore sound. This Sound was more related to Classic 1980’s US Hardcore as the path set by Memphis’ Legendary early 90’s hardcore band Copout than the down tuned, experimental metallic sound of His Hero Is Gone. His Hero Is Gone’s Guitarrist /Vocalist and Deathreat’s Drummer ” Todd Threat” Todd Burdette played guitar in the final line up of Copout, and Deathreat Vocalist “Bill D. Ramp” Billy Davis also played bass in Copout briefly. His Hero is Gone drummer / Deathreat Guitarrist “Paul Ages show” Paul Burdette and Billy Davis had previously played in Face Down, who released a split 7” EP with Copout. “Stan Your Ground”Stan Wright and “Backside Bob” filled out the band’s line up, who recorded a 12-song demo tape in 1997. Five of these tracks were re-recorded in June of 1997 for a debut 8 song EP- most commonly known by the title of the first track ” Runs Dry” - on San Francisco’s Prank Records ( Prank 015). In 1998 the band recorded at Columbia, South Carolina’s Jay Room Studios for a follow up split 7” EP with Oakland’s Talk Is Poison, who featured William Harris, Copout’s vocalist on Guitar and vocals. They recorded an additional eight tracks for the debut release of a then-collaborative label between Billy Davis, Todd Burdette and Stan Wright called “Partners In Crime”, a name also used on their self-released demo tape.
