Their debut album, In the Name of Metal, was released by the New Renaissance label in 1986, and was followed by a U.S. tour also featuring underground favorites Voivod, Kreator, St. Vitus, and Dream Death. This tour also served to introduce new bassist Seth Putnam, who would go on to perform on Executioner's 1987 sophomore effort, Break the Silence, but subsequently left to found Anal Cunt. As for Executioner, they toiled on for a little while longer before breaking up, and the batch of new demos recorded with third bass player Tommy Flynn were eventually included in 2000's The Storm After the Calm odds-and-ends collection. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
