Lawnmower Deth

Lawnmower Deth is a British thrash metal band known for their irreverent humor, parody lyrics, and energetic live performances. Formed in Ravenshead, England, in 1987, the band originally started as a joke among friends but quickly gained a cult following for their unique blend of thrash metal and comedy.

The band's lineup has undergone several changes over the years, but the core members include Pete Lee (known as Qualcast Mutilator), Steve Nesfield (Concorde Faceripper), Chris Parkes (Scallywag the Infamous), and Chris Flint (Arnold "Schwarzenegger" Gutbucket). Their stage names reflect the band's tongue-in-cheek approach to their music and image.

Lawnmower Deth gained attention with their debut album, "Ooh Crikey It's... Lawnmower Deth", released in 1990. The album featured a mix of original songs and cover versions, including a thrash metal rendition of the Kim Wilde hit "Kids in America". The band's humorous lyrics and over-the-top performances resonated with fans of thrash metal and punk rock, earning them a dedicated following in the underground music scene.

Despite their initial success, Lawnmower Deth disbanded in the mid-1990s as members pursued other projects and interests. However, they reunited in the early 2000s for occasional live performances and festival appearances, delighting fans with their high-energy shows and comedic antics.

In recent years, Lawnmower Deth has continued to perform sporadically, maintaining their reputation as one of the most entertaining and unique bands in the thrash metal genre. While they may not take themselves too seriously, their musical talent and dedication to delivering a memorable live experience have earned them a lasting place in the hearts of metal fans around the world.
