Executioner USA Tour Bug

To travel the USA like we did on our tours back in the 80,s. Massachusetts to west coast and everywhere in between..Meeting new people,crashing at peoples houses,sleeping in the Chevy van.  Opening for Megadeth,Manowar,Anthrax, Dark Angel,Voivod,The Accused,Nuclear Assult,D.R.I,,Kreator and more classic 80,s Metal and crossover punk bands. We never got to tour Europe. Maybe the Executioner travel bug will make it over there. The goal is to keep it touring!

Executioner was formed in 1984. Their track "Victims of Evil" was issued on the compilation Speed Metal Hell in 1985.[1] They were then signed to New Renaissance Records and recorded material throughout 1985, which was released as their debut album In the Name of Metal in 1986.

Around that time, bassist Ari Vainio left the band, and Seth Putnam(R.I.P)who later went on to greater fame with his band A.C. joined. They recorded their second album Break the Silence with Putnam and released it in 1987.

In 1988, Putnam left the band and was replaced by Tommy Flynn. With Flynn, they recorded material throughout 1988 and most of 1989, but shortly after the material was mixed, the band broke up.[2] Had Executioner not broken up, the material was to have been called In Cold Blood and released in 1990.

In 1999, a CD called The Storm after the Calm was released, containing the tracks from the sessions in 1988 and 1989 and four live in the studio tracks.

In 2013, In the Name of Metal was reissued on CD with bonus tracks, including "Final Destruction" (only available on cassette on the original release), the original recording of "Victims of Evil" and the live in the studio of AC/DC's "Walk All Over You" from The Storm after the Calm. Later that year, Break the Silence was released on CD without any bonus material.
