VENDETTA

1st album from 1987 by German VENDETTA, one of the hidden gems of late 1980s European Thrash Metal. Released by Noise Records and produced by Harris Johns, "Go and Live... Stay and Die" marked an outstanding debut, showcasing the band's impressive technical ability and songwriting skills while establishing them as one of the most promising acts of the flourishing German Thrash scene.

Unlike many of their more savage contemporaries, VENDETTA focused on a precise and highly sophisticated brand of Thrash Metal built around razor-sharp riffs, blazing twin-guitar harmonies, frequent tempo changes and exceptional musicianship. Harris Johns' powerful production perfectly complements the band's balance of aggression and technical finesse, resulting in an album that has deservedly earned cult status as one of the finest releases of the German Thrash Metal movement.
