HELLWITCH arose from the depths in October of 1984. Founding members Patrick Ranieri and Harry Tyler recorded the first demo, a one track venture, in the living room of their apartment in Gainesville, Floridia. The track, “Nosferatu” consisted of Pat on all guitars, and Harry on drums (i.e. a seat cushion and a textbook) and vocals. Pat composed the music and the two of them penned the lyrics. In February 1985 Dave Silverstein and Andy Adcock joined HELLWITCH ranks; Pat took on vocals, Andy became the bassist, and Dave replaced Harry on drums. The band’s first show was on July of 1985, opening for a local punk band, ROACH MOTEL. To this date, HELLWITCH has played with various established bands such as ANTHRAX, NUCLEAR ASSAULT, D.R.I, KREATOR, DEICIDE, MORBID ANGEL, DEATH, DARK ANGEL, CORONER, GBH, NASTY SAVAGE, and ATHEIST.
HELLWITCH recorded their first studio demo entitled, “Transgressive sentience” in January 1986. The demo features “Torture chamber”, “Satan’s wrath”, “Nosferatu”, and the instrumental epic, “Fate at pain’s end”. A remixed version of “Torture chamber” appears on a compilation LP on New Renaissance Records entitled “Thrash metal attack”, released in July 1987. The band’s second studio demo, “Mordirivial disemanation”, released in June 1987, contains four tracks, “Purveyor of fear”, “Pyrophoric seizure”, “Degeneration”, and a newer version of “Nosferatu”.
