R.A.V.A.G.E.

R.A.V.A.G.E. is the name used by the American underground band that released the 1987 demo Hell Hath No Mercy and later became known as Atheist.

DeBaser's review states the R.A.V.A.G.E. era demo (1987) contains three raw tracks bridging thrash and death elements. Publicly verifiable facts: the band later operated under the name Atheist; Atheist's lineups have included musicians such as Steve Flynn (drums) and Tony Choy (bass).

The single DeBaser review examines R.A.V.A.G.E.'s 1987 demo Hell Hath No Mercy, a three-track release rooted in thrash with death metal elements. The recording is raw and aggressive, with technical flaws noted in execution and songwriting, but hints at qualities that would evolve in the band's later incarnation as Atheist. The reviewer highlights the closing track "On The Slay" as the most experimental of the three.
