Biography
Stormtroopers of Death was an American crossover thrash band formed in New York City in 1985. They are credited as being amongst the first crossover thrash groups by fusing hardcore punk with thrash metal. The band is also known for reuniting Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian and drummer Charlie Benante with their former bassist Dan Lilker. Their instrumental song "March of the S.O.D." from their 1985 debut album, Speak English or Die, was the Headbangers Ball intro anthem for many years. Another song from the same album, "Chromatic Death", was also used during the show as a segue between ads and videos.
