Exorcist

Dark Metal Band Unleashes Haunting Rhythms

Exorcist was a thrash metal band that emerged in the mid-1980s, known for their album "Nightmare Theatre" released in 1986. The band's style was a blend of speed and thrash metal with a horror-themed aesthetic, which was somewhat popular during that era. Despite the thematic content, the band members' identities were shrouded in mystery at the time of the album's release, leading to various speculations about who was actually behind the project. It has been suggested that Exorcist was a side project of members from the band Virgin Steele, with David DeFeis and Edward Pursino being involved. However, due to the lack of concrete information and the band's brief activity in the music scene, details about Exorcist's career beyond "Nightmare Theatre" are scarce. The album itself has gained a cult following among fans of underground metal from that period.
