Nunslaughter was formed in Pittsburgh in 1987 by Don of the Dead (bass) with Jer the Butcher (guitar), Gregoroth (vocals) and Behemoth Bill (drums). NunSlaughter began spewing forth the sonic vomit known as Death Metal. Taking lessons from the learning experience of their earlier bands DEATH SENTENCE and BIRD OF PREY, they shunned the confines of a studio in favor of the oppressive darkness of a basement tomb to record their first demo in 1987.
