Lethal - Programmed 1990

LETHAL are an American progressive power metal act ( US styled) formed in 1982 in Hebron, Kentucky. The band was formed by the Cook brothers Eric ( guitars) and Glen ( Bass). The band´s original drummer was Adrian Powers while Tom Mallicoat took care of the vocals in the band. The lineup was completed by Dell Hull on guitars. The first release by LETHAL was the 1987 "Arrival" demo. The band then scored a record deal with Metal Blade Records and released their debut full-length studio album "Programmed" in 1990 ( with new drummer Jerry Hartman). Guitarist Dell Hull left LETHAL shortly after the release of "Programmed" and started working for a company in California who made album cover designs. Dell Hull had designed the cover artwork for "Programmed". LETHAL recruited new guitarist David McElfresh to replace Dell Hull. It would be five years before another official release by the band would see the light of day. The "Your Favourite God" EP was released by Massacre Records in 1995. The band released their second and for now last full-length studio album "Poison Seed" in 1996. The album was released by Massacre Records. Shortly after the release of that album LETHAL split up. They reunited in June 2006 and are hoping to release more music sometime in the future.LETHAL´s inclusion in the Prog Archives database was approved by the Progressive Metal Team. Fans of classic progressive metal acts like FATES WARNING, QUEENSRYCHE, CRIMSON GLORY and HEIR APPARENT should find a lot to enjoy here.
