About Me

COMING SOON!!! "Technical Aggression" will Be made available for sale in it's original 1987 rare format packaged up with a limited edition t-shirt
Caligula's "Technical Aggression" five song demo is known to be one of the better produced demos from this time error,showcasing the truth in crossover.
Caligula was a thrash/crossover band based out of Queens, N.Y. that existed from 1985-1988. They recorded three demo tapes during this time, but it was their self-released "Technical Aggression" (1987) which garnered them the most recognition from the thrash scene.
The band was started by Rob Garbarino (bass), Chris Deleo (guitar), Ed Klinger (drums), Vinny Vermette (vocals), and Tommy K (guitar). By 1986 Vermette and Tommy K had left the group, and they were briefly replaced by Whiplash's Tony Portaro on vocals/guitar when Whiplash's Tony Scaglione left to join Slayer. Upon Portaro's eventual return to Whiplash, the group decided to go with one guitar and joined forces with John Scherer (Deathrash) just before recording "Technical Agression".
After the demo's release, they began to build a large following through the under world of tape trading and playing shows with thrash and hardcore notables such as Agnostic Front, Prong,Biohazard ,Sick Of It All, Token Entry, Hallows Eve, Sheer Terror, Deathrash, Dept. C, and many others.They were also featured in a number of magazines including Kerrang!, Metal Mania, and numerous underground zines.
