Angelcorpse

Angelcorpse formed in 1995, with a line-up of Helmkamp, guitarist Gene Palubicki, and drummer John Longstreth, and recorded a demo, Goats to Azazael, which led to a contract with Osmose Productions. The band's debut album, Hammer of Gods, was released in 1996, after which rhythm guitarist Bill Taylor joined, playing on second album Exterminate (1998). On the same tour, Helmkamp's girlfriend was stabbed, and he decided to leave the band. Helmkamp claimed that the band is fueled by "the constant struggle, strife, camaraderie, and unified will that forged the iron, blood, and blasphemy of our music and lyrics". As of 2015, the band temporarily reformed for select live dates, though it was repeatedly stressed that it was a one-time live reunion that would not produce new material. Upon concluding their reunion live dates in 2017, the band split up permanently. == Other projects ==

Angelcorpse guitarist Gene Palubicki has also played with a death/thrash metal project called Blasphemic Cruelty. Their debut album is called ''Devil's Mayhem''. Gina Ambrosio played drums in the band and Alex Blume played bass and did vocals. Juan 'Punchy' Gonzalez engineered the album. They signed to Hells Headbangers Records in 2012. ==Discography==
