Long-running speed metal band Hades was originally formed in 1978 by singer Paul Smith and guitarist Dan Lorenzo, then high schoolers in Paramus, NJ. A 1982 curtain raising escort for Twisted Sister greatly brocaded the band's local visibleness, and with drummer Tom Coombes and bassist Lou Ciarlo on board, Hades issued its debut seven-inch Deliver Us from Evil. Appearances on the Metal Blade compilation Metal Massacre VI and Megaforce's Born to Metalize followed before the group -- forthwith consisting of Lorenzo, Coombes, singer Alan Tecchio, guitarist Scott LePage and bassist Jimmy Schulman -- gestural to Torrid Records and issued their debut LP Resisting Success in 1987. Guitarist Ed Fuhrman replaced LePage for the 1988 follow-up If at First You Don't Succeed, simply patch touring Europe Hades disbanded; Lorenzo soon formed a new grouping, Non-Fiction, which issued its debut EP Green in 1989. After a stretch with the group Watchtower, Tecchio returned to New Jersey and linked Non-Fiction as well; each year, Hades too played a reunion show at Newark's Studio One (1991's show yielded the Live on Location disk), and when Non-Fiction dissolved upon complemental their album It's a Wonderful Life, Lorenzo and Tecchio reformed Hades with Fuhrman, LePage (right away on bass part) and drummer Dave Lecsinsky. The reunion elbow grease SaviorSelf followed in early 1999; The Downside appeared a class later.
