Combining metal, doom, speed metal with hardcore vocals, Pittsburgh, PA’s Dream Death, gained significant popularity among the metal underground in the eighties. They formed in 1985 and earned their place in metal lore because of the unique ways they evolved traditional doom metal into their signature doom / death metal sound, which for critics and fans alike was something missing from the metal spectrum, and something that metalheads wanted to hear.
After releasing two two highly acclaimed demos, developing a solid and growing fan base, and leaving behind heavy live shows the word of mouth propelled them to a deal with New Renaissance Records, garnering Dream Death a full album deal, which resulted in the band’s 1987 debut, 'Journey into Mystery'. The album stands as a true underground classic, with the band still being talked about and referenced as a seminal piece of metal history.
