Background notes
Archive material and source history
Excessive Force formed in New Jersey in 1983, playing thrash metal when glam was peaking. They signed with Megaforce Records and put out their first album, 'Force II,' in 1985. Songs like 'Blitzkrieg' and 'Pigfaced' had a raw, aggressive sound that stood out from the slicker stuff around at the time.
Their live shows were known for being intense, and they built a following through club gigs. They released a few more albums through the late '80s, including 'Annihilation' in 1987 and 'The Enemy Within' in 1989. The band's lineup included Mike Hrubovcak on vocals and Joe Stump on guitar.
Some of their lyrics, particularly in tracks like 'Blitzkrieg,' stirred up debate about whether they were criticizing war or celebrating it. They kept playing and recording, putting out another album called 'Integrity' in 2000. Their music stayed rooted in that fast, heavy thrash style they started with.
