Unseen Terror |
|---|
Unseen Terror was a British extreme metal band formed by Shane Embury (later of Napalm Death) and Mitch Dickinson (Heresy), and played extreme metal with a technical edge.[1] The band name is taken from early grindcore band S.O.B.'s song of the same name. Their most notable feat took place in March of 1988, when they recorded tracks for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 program.
History
The short-lived group was founded in 1987 by drummer Shane Embury and singer/guitarist Mitch Dickinson. They were later joined by Pete Giles (Warhammer, Harmony as One, Scalplock) on bass.
After contributing two tracks to the collection Diminished Responsibility, a 1987 trash compilation album[2], the group landed a record contract at Earache Records. The album Human Error was recorded in September 1987. After their debut-album, Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris joined the band as singer. By then, Giles had left the group. The band organised a recording session for radio legend John Peel,[3] and a one-off performance in Nottingham with bassist Wayne Aston.
The group came to an end after this. Embury became a full-time bassist for Napalm Death and Dickinson became guitarist for the band Heresy.
