Year 2002 was goin' on when Francisco ( Colonel KMU ) totally drunk makes a new friendship with Diego ( Sargeant Diego ) since then, the basis began to create for the spawning of STRIKE MASTER later on, a year after they meet Chavez ( Commander Chavez ) while he was already playing with his project called "NECROFILIA"...
3 years had to go on for the creation of STRIKE MASTER with this 3 motherfuckers, meanwhile Diego played in a band that he founded called "THAURVAL", this band was more classic thrash/speed compared to what he will play later. Francisco started writing the songs alone, influenced by bands like: "Iced Earth, Slayer, Kreator to Demolition Hammer, Vio - lence and Devastation ( many bands more are the influence but we prefer not to submit them thanks to a lot of assholes that get their education by the internet... )
It was already 2004, after Francisco found Chavez with his head stuck in a pile of mud and shit in certain metal festival in Europe ( we omit the name also God Dammit ! ! ! ) he screams to him that they should make a band of Pure Thrash Metal and after thinking several names ( between the possible could have been "CRUSADER" and "BLINDER" ) from the memory of a photograph of a war airplane armed til' teeth the name "STRIKE MASTER" came out, which is a synonym of combat, incessant bombarding and a lot of fucking noise ! ! !
Already being drums and guitar they needed a bass player so Francisco invited Polo ( from RAPED GOD ) to a few sessions of song writing but because of bad timing he couldn't continue with the band. They already had two songs with guitar and drums so they went to Diego ( who kept playing with "THAURVAL" ) so that he played the bass until he preferred to stay as permanent bass player of STRIKE MASTER , this is how the first demo "Murder in the Kitchen" was recorded, this demo had no distribution but here you could already hear what will be coming on.
With this 3 motherfuckers already together as the permanent members of the band and having already 4 shit - piles from Attila, Charles Manson and O. J. Simpson ( 4 songs ! ) the first E. P. ( Demo - Promo ) "RUSHED DEATH" is recorded, with this material they begin to play in north, south and center of Mexico with different bands such as : "Transmetal ,Luzbel, Raped God, Hacavitz,Voltax,Splitheaven, etc... Also going on their first foreign tour to Puerto rico with killer bands like Dantesco and Sacrilegio, also playing months later on the third edition of the “Boricua Metal Fest†along with classic bands like Omen and Deadly Blessing.
One of the demo songs is featured on the “Outbreak of Evil4†7†compilation released by NWN Productions.
Now they have released their first full length album which was baptized in fire by the name of "UP FOR THE MASSACRE†via BLOWER RECORDS Mexico, which is a label specialized in true heavy/thrash/speed/power metal from the 80s
They have already played promotional shows with their album opening for classic cult acts as Hirax and doing shows in southern California such as the well known Thrasho de Mayo in Los Angeles.Up for the Massacre song is featured in "Thrash Metal Warriors comp" released by Blackdevil Records along with Sabbat,Hirax,Kat and many other new acts from around the world.
The STRIKE MASTER priorities are Velocity, collective violence and closed, dry and intolerant Hate against posers of any kind, to take our music to the real practice and come out clean and with the victory in this falling metal scene of today.
TALKING OF SADISM, OUR NAME IS VIOLENCE ! ! !
IGNORANT POSERS STEP ASIDE OR MEET THE STRIKE MASTER ! ! !
