Hydra Vein was formed in the spring of 1987,when Deathwish bassist Damon Maddison left that band in order to record his own material. Recruiting his brother and likewise ex-Deathwish member Nathan on drums, together with singer Mike Keen, the trio recorded “The Reptilliad” demo in July 1987, augmented by guitarists Dave Brunt (a.k.a. Dave Deathwish) and Alan Wheatley-Crowe. As both guitarists were involved with their own outfits at the time, they appear on the credits listing as “Jack Kartoffel”, after a one-liner from the film “Top Secret”, though do get a name check in the “Thanks To” section, along with pianist Thomas Foster, who provided the tape’s intro. The demo tape garnered decent reviews in the metal press and generated a lot of interest among the cognoscenti of the thrash underground, whereupon the new Metalother label stepped in with an offer of a one-album deal for the outfit. During the intervening period, the band killed off the unfortunate but purely fictional Kartoffel and replaced him with guitarists Dan Ranger (who’s brother Stuart replaced Damon in Deathwish)

After a couple of months of rehearsals, February 1988 saw the band enter the Blue Box studios in Hove to record their first (and now much sought-after) album “Rather Death Than False Of Faith”
