Background notes
Archive material and source history
Priest of Death formed in Chicago in 1985 with Rick Rozz on vocals, Matt Cavotta and Brian Patrick on guitars, Tom Peterson on bass, and Craig Pillard on drums. Their music pulled from thrash, black, and death metal, creating a sound built on aggression and dark themes. Songs like 'Death Awaits' and 'Killing Is Fun' featured graphic lyrics about violence and the occult, which drew criticism from conservative and religious groups. The band faced censorship but didn't change their approach.
They released their debut album 'Seven Churches' in 1987, followed by 'Death Awaits' in 1988. Other tracks in their catalog include 'Message in a Bullet,' 'Queen of Sodomy,' 'Same Shit Another God,' and 'Soluções Violentas.' Their lineup has shifted over time, but they've kept performing and putting out new material.
