Biografia : Damaged Faith

Let's see here…I (Troy Thibodeaux) joined the band in 1991. The band was already together and playing gigs in Dallas. I joined the band as a singer and guitarist. They formally only had one guitarist (George Shepherd). I don't remember what the deal was with the former singer. I met him and he seemed to be a good guy. He even got up and sang a song with us at one of my first gigs with the band. I remember thinking that was pretty cool at the time.

After I joined the band the line up was Troy Thibodeaux (guitar and vocals), George Shepherd, (guitar), Joey Gates (bass) and Jack Stevens (drums). They had a full set of songs, so I had to quickly start learning the tunes. I came in with a few songs of my own and the band learned those also, so we had quite a bit of material to choose from. I remember thinking that my songs and George's songs worked really well together. Our writing styles and playing styles were a bit different, but I thought it really created a distinct style within the Heavy Metal genre. It wasn't this diverse eclectic music by any stretch…it was Metal…but as far as Metal goes I thought we had our own thing going. After a little while we were playing pretty much a 50/50 split of George's songs and my songs. I thought that arrangement worked well.

We recorded a 4 song demo at Nomad Recording Studios in Carrollton, TX titled “Hate Society”.

Track listing:

Give Them Death
Political Deceit

Somewhere towards the end of 1992 (I think) Jack Stevens left the band and Marc Brattin joined.

We soon recorded a 2 song demo at Savage Sound Recording Studio in Dallas, TX.
