Lethal Injection

First and foremost I'm from Niagara Falls New York, just outside Buffalo. These are my roots and I am very proud of where I (Lethal Jim Winters) came from. Lethal Injection started when Jim Winters met Greg Falzone at Western High School back in 1983 and started jamming in a 6' x 8' metal shed in the backyard of the Falzone household with influences from all the popular punk bands at that time. Agnostic Front, Black Flag, Minor Threat, DRI,MDC,DI,Subhumans, Angry Samoans, Cryptic Slaughter and many others. With the Addition of a Nieghborhood friend Mike "Paco" Zamora on bass it was complete and the carnage had begun. Playing all the local shows they could and Red Rock, Pabco also the infamous Losee Road Ditch. After a couple of years music started to change and Lethal felt the need to play faster and angrier.
As the music changed so did the influences. Besides the punk they grew up with they found more potency in bands like Slayer, Possesed and many cross over bands and new metal bands. Greg played drums on the Righteous Pigs album for our life long friend Mitch Harris (Napalm Death) and Joe Caper (The Henchmen) and started playing faster and harder than ever before. In the meantime Lethal released thier Penetrate the Skin Demo and were working on the next one. They were close to being signed the summer of 92 when Nuclear Blast Germany turned thier Latest self tiltled demo into a 7" and released it on thier label. With increadible artwork on the cover it became a must have for collectors. The end result, however was the band did not get signed and kept playing and shopping thier demo's.
In 1994 they released a 3 song demo done on an 8 track in the garage titled Putrid Remains. The dabbled with changing the name to Putrid Remains but stayed as Lethal Injection. Time went on and the scene became tough for local Death bands. Not enough people were into the local death scene and it became harder to keep shows going so the band took a brake and Jim Winters moved to San Diego to pursue work and family. In that time Paco and Greg played in bands with Joe Caper (The Henchmen) and then formed Last Rites with JT Davidson, Paco, Greg and Jaime Jackson. In the mean time Jim Winters returned to Vegas in late 2005 and waited to get Lethal back together. Unfourtunatley Last Rites had a falling out with members and broke up in mid 2007. This opened the doors for Lethal to get back to business. With more brutal influences through the last 8 years then ever before and a renewed death scene in Vegas and accross America and in Europe the boys are putting together thier most brutal songs to date and are working on completing a new demo in early 2008 with more blasting drums,brutal guitar,meathook bass and gutteral vocals. Prepare to follow. Stay tuned for more to come........
