Not to be confused with the Black Metal band Resurrection from Los Angeles. Resurrection split up in 1996 and reformed by 2005. Before they split up, there was plans for an album called "Forever Embalmed" that would include four live tracks, both demos prior to the debut and the tracks from the demo released after the debut album.
Vital Remains is a blackened death metal band from Rhode Island, USA formed in 1989. Influenced by the likes of Venom, Celtic Frost, Bathory, Mercyful Fate, Sodom and Destruction. Originally comprised of guitarists Paul Flynn and Tony Lazaro, vocalist Jeff Gruslin, bassist Tom Supkow, and drummer Chris Dupont, the group has been through several line-up changes and record labels over the years. A pair of demos (1989's "Reduced to Ashes" and 1990's "Excruciating Pain") led to a contract with French label Thrash Records, who in turn released "The Black Mass" in 1991.
