78 Rpm was a heavy metal band that formed in Los Angeles in 1986. The group included Vlad Drac on vocals, Kane Kross on guitar, Damien West on drums, and Raven Sinclair on bass. Their name came from the speed of old record players.
Their debut single 'Blood Runs Red' got attention in the metal scene when it came out. The song had lyrics about betrayal and vengeance that some listeners connected with.
They released several albums including 'Bloodlust' in 1987, 'Shadows of the Damned' in 1989, 'Unholy Trinity' in 1991, and 'Masters of the Night' in 1994. Their music sometimes incorporated elements from gothic metal and industrial sounds.
Vlad Drac's theatrical stage presence became a recognizable part of their live shows. The band's lineup stayed mostly consistent through their active years.
