RETCHED

Logan Makiah and Doug Jackson were the back bone and masterminds of Retched and wrote the entirity of the EP The Overlord Messiah. Unfortunately, soon after they started playing shows, the band started having issues with the management, as they were not doing the release justice as far as getting it heard and promoting the EP as it should have been. Needless to say, soon after all the turmoil Retched fell apart, The Overlord Messiah was abandoned and never saw the light of day.

David DerMinasian had the last copy of the cassette in existence and he would take it out every 5 or ten years to play it for a few times and then put it away, carefully wrapping it up in a bandanna and wishing they had the chance to release it because even though it was originally recorded in 1988, it was still brand new to the fans of true metal and it will never die!!!

Well after some time, David chose to come back to the metal scene and play again. He built a studio to start working on his sound and that’s when he learned how you can release music yourself. So he did, while keeping his hopes alive that he would find the other band mates. It took 7 years of asking around the old circles of friends and acquaintances and finally last spring he actually found Doug Jackson and Logan Makiah and received an offer to release The Overlord Messiah with Sliptrick Records!!

US thrash metal project Retched have released a new version of the track Horrific with a refreshed production by David DerMinasian.

David had this to say about the track; “Horrific is a song of war and hatred and how we as the human race is doomed because the world leaders will not stop being greedy and hungry for war, its about the insanity of the present and past life. It’s about how religious leaders who say they are with god but are not because they use god for thier own needs to get what they want.”
