Dream Death

The band formed in 1985 (some say 1984) as a trio with Brian Lawrence on guitar and vocals, Mike Smail on drums and Ted Williams on bass. After recording their debut demo, the band decided to add a second guitarist in former Doomwatch bassist Terry Weston and set out to write and record their second demo called More Graveyard Delving . They released their debut album, Journey into Mystery , in 1987. Shortly afterwards, Ted Williams left to join crossover metal band Eviction , and the remaining three members changed the name to Penance . They reformed as Dream Death in 2011, while Penance is also very much an ongoing concern.
