October 23, 1988 - 2023: 35 years of: Ultimate Revenge 2.

Thrashing the Upper East-Coast's ass.

Rock, thrash and deadly. On a cold autumn October night, Philadelphia's Trocadero Theatre literally became Hell on Earth. Five acts, not from the Big Four, pushed the amps up to eleven: old-school and new-school in a metal tirade.

FORBIDDEN, FAITH OR FEAR, DEATH, DARK ANGEL and RAVEN, all united for one night of apocalyptic chaos. A beefy follow-up to the Ultimate Revenge 1985 Combat Records tour, then featuring: EXODUS, SLAYER and blackmetal Gods VENOM.

A violent changing of the guards.

Bay-Area new-kids FORBIDDEN's melodic-thrash destroyed everything, while FAITH OR FEAR's crossover edge and DARK ANGEL's maniacal-metal moved the pit with muscle-mosh. And while Florida's DEATH deathmetal-genre was knocking loudly at the front-door as the heaviest unit on the planet, the aging British-rockers RAVEN were obviously out of pace ...and out of place.

Riding high on Thrash-Metal's Second Wave, this ultimate revenge would serve as a catalyst mainly for both FORBIDDEN and DEATH, in developing a long fruitful career. There would not be an Ultimate Revenge III.
