Background notes
Archive material and source history
Infantry formed in New York City in 1984 with a lineup that included vocalist Dusty Rhodes and guitarist Jake Reed. Their debut album 'Thrashing the Barriers' came out in 1986, and the track 'Speed Killer' from that record became something of an anthem in certain circles. The song's aggressive pace and direct lyrics connected with listeners who were drawn to that kind of unfiltered thrash metal.
While 'Speed Killer' helped build their following, it also attracted criticism for its content. The band's shows sometimes got out of hand, and their overall approach kept them at odds with more conservative listeners. They put out a couple more albums like 'Speed Addict' in 1988 and 'Death Machine' in 1990, sticking to their particular brand of metal throughout that period.
