Biography

Death SS was founded in 1977 by Paul Chain and Steve Sylvester. Death SS is an Italian heavy metal band Throughout their career they have played Thrash metal, early Black metal, and on more recent albums Industrial They shared the love for punk and heavy metal music, Kiss, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, old black and white horror films. Kiss (also typeset as KISS) is an American rock band formed in New York City in December 1972 Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948) is an American rock singer songwriter and musician whose career spans five Black Sabbath are an So they decided to form a band: Paul Chain invented the name Death SS, with the double S in pure punk spirit (so nothing to do with nazism), while Sylvester had the idea of dressing up each member as a horror movie character: lead vocalist as a Vampire, guitarists as the Death and a Zombie, bassist as a Mummy, drummer as a Werewolf. In the same period Steve was the leader of a satanic sect, while Paul was the priest at black masses.
In 1982 Steve left the band; a new vocalist, Sanctis Ghoram, was recruited and dressed up as the Necromancer, and the band lasted until 1984 when, after recording the "Evil Metal" EP, Paul Chain put an end to Death SS, detaching himself from occultism and the evil beliefs the band incarnated, and changed the name of the project to Paul Chain Violet Theatre.

Paul copyrighted nothing of the band, nor the name nor the songs, as he was the main composer of both lyrics and music, since Sylvester contributed only as lyricist while he was the vocalist of the band. So in 1988 Sylvester could reform Death SS without Paul Chain and with all new musicians. This new incarnation of Death SS would record their first full length album, . . . In Death of Steve Sylvester. Their would be many line-up changes in the years to come, with Sylvester once again being the only constant.
