Mortal Sin is a thrash metal band that formed in 1985. The group formed around singer Mat Maurer and drummer Wayne Campbell in Sydney, Australia. At first Campbell had attempted to get Maurer into another band called Wizzard but the rest of that band was reluctant to support the idea so the pair struck out on their own, quickly recruiting Wizzard's guitar Keith Krstin, bass player Andy Eftichiou from a band called Judge and a second guitarist Neville Reynolds. Reynolds was fired for not being available to play at the band's very first show and was replaced by Paul Carwana.
Hobbs' Angel of Death are an Australian thrash metal band that began in the mid 1980s and continue to this day, together with Mortal Sin they are one of the earliest successful Australian thrash metal bands.

The classic line up of Toranaga (Andy Mitchell, Steve todd, Andy Burton, Mark Duffy) was completed in March 1988 when vocalist Mark Duffy joined the band after replying to an ad in Kerrang magazine. The band had already secured a record deal with Peaceville Records at that time and vocalist Mark Duffy suggested getting Kev Ridley to produce the album, having previously worked with him on his last band ’Millennium’. The songs were yet to be completed and Duffy added the lyrics to the massive riffs of their debut ’Bastard Ballads’.
