RELLIK

About Me


Thrash/Death Metal from Philadelphia PA. RELLIK released Deceive the Deceiving in 2004. In 2006 RELLIK picked up Steve McQuaid on lead guitar and Bill Shermer on vocals and released "Devoured in Sin" in 2007. A review of the latest release by Voices from the Darkside webzine (www.voicesfromthedarkside.de) describes the band as "a sick blend of ripping old style Death / Thrash à la RIPPING CORPSE with hints of early MORBID ANGEL, James Murphy-era DEATH and pre-"Dawn Of Possession" IMMOLATION". RELLIK drummer Craig Smilowski is the former drummer of Immolation playing on their first two releases "Dawn of Possession" and "Here in After". RELLIK added x-Vicious Circle front man Darrell Rapp to the lineup in 2009.
