Deathrow (band)

Deathrow was a thrash metal group from Düsseldorf, Germany.[1] Founded in 1984 as Samhain, they notably released three albums on Noise Records.[2]

With the arrival of guitarist Uwe Osterlehner, came a shift toward a more intricate and progressive style that would ultimately be heard on subsequent albums Deception Ignored (1989) and Life Beyond (1992). In 2018, all four albums were remastered and released.
