History & Biography Speed and power metal band Reactor from south-eastern Germany competed with a dozen acts for the same monicker. The group was active between 1988 and 2006 and was first heard through a 1990 demo. A follow-up demo was called Rather Dead Than Dishonoured, which received official pressing in Japan. The next one Revelation was even adorned with a Japanese cover. The group played at the Horror Infernal Festival in Dortmund with Accuser; Morgoth, Carcass and others. Singer Jerry Bryant and drummer Muck Langmairleft due to musical differences.
1MF of Germany picked the next one up, which had S.L. Coe on vocals. The singer had produced Revelation for the band. Coe was gone by the time the band toured with Armistice. The next one was called A Short Fairy Tale, issued independently through the band’s React imprint, featured bassist Robert Käfferlein on vocals rendering the band a trio and coincided with 1MF’s bankruptcy. Yet another demo was 1998’s Raw Meat.
Bassist Daniel Unzner stepped into the fold. The band recorded a song called Augschburg for the local hockey team, Augsburg Panthers. The final demo was issued in 2004, and called No Rest Yet!, but lied as it was the end. This demo was recorded between 2002 and 2003. Only Markus Baier was left standing from the earlier line-ups. A 1999 demo, The South Strikes Back, was announced yet never released. No Rest Yet! incorporated the songs.
