BIO:
In the city of Toronto, in the year 1986, Rick Nemes (drums), Psycopath (bass), Kenny Hallman (guitar), Steve Terror (guitar) and Chris Bailey, joined forces and created the thrash band Infernäl Mäjesty. Infernäl Mäjesty's main objective was to write an album of complex and exciting thrash tunes, to unleash onto the ever evolving thrash market. In order to begin this process, they recorded a 24 track four song demo at Metal Works studios in Toronto (owned by members of the band Triumph).With the demo tape completed, copies were sent out through various channels, and a record deal was signed with Roadrunner Records in New York City... The amazing thing about the signing was, Infernäl Mäjesty had never sent a copy of the demo to Roadrunner, a Magazine in Europe had sent one to them with a recommendation to sign the band.
In September 1987, the world wide release, of the now, cult classic, None Shall Defy was launched. The album included such cuts as, Overlord, which was the code name for the Normandy invasion, Anthology of Death, about the notorious Jack the Ripper, Night of the Living Dead, which was inspired by the march of the zombies scene in the classic horror film of the same name. The title track, None Shall Defy, became the band's first video.
They received very promising reviews from leading magazines such as, Metal Hammer, Aardschok and Kerrang. Displeased Records lists Infernäl Mäjesty along with Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, Kreator and Death as one of the main influences on the death/black metal music scene. Fan mail from distant locations such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, China and New Zealand demonstrated the magnitude of the expanding thrash market.
Creation of Chaos was completed with new vocalist Vince , as Chris Bailey had left the band. Creation of Chaos was sold by mail order and distributed by Cargo Records to listeners around the world. Infernäl Mäjesty went on to play select shows with Razor, Kreator, Coroner, Death Angel…etc. Infernäl Mäjesty's cult status was solidified with the masterful cover of their ultimate thrash classic "Night of the Living Dead" by Sweden's Dawn. Other bands such as Christ Denied from Spain, Illdisposed and Goddess of Desire have recorded - played songs by Infernäl Mäjesty. Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery which proves true with reports of bootlegged CD's, live videos, T-shirts and posters have covered Infernäl Mäjesty material in their live shows .
With the re-release of "None Shall Defy" on CD, Infernäl Mäjesty schedule a summer tour in Europe with original vocalist Chris Bailey. In late March of 1997, a sample of new material was recorded and produced by the band and added to a compilation CD. The CD entitled Kanada Compilation , was released in limited quantities. Infernäl Mäjesty contributed 2 songs, Where is your God and Gone the way of all Flesh which are shortened versions of new songs for their upcoming album. With the re-release of "None Shall Defy" on CD, Infernäl Mäjesty toured Europe with original vocalist Chris Bailey and newly acquired bass player Chay McMullen.
The tour, consisting of Malevolent Creation , Infernäl Mäjesty, Vader and Vital Remains, was considered by many as the highlight of the summer. With record interest wide spread the band returned home to sign a new record deal. January 1998, Infernäl Mäjesty signed with Hypnotic Records who have been signing Canadian bands for some time, already have Voivod, Razor, Anvil and Mundane as part of their roster.
