Mace (3)

American thrash metal band from Everett, Washington formed in 1982, that debuted as a trio on the 'Metal Massacre V' album. MACE at that juncture, contributing the track 'Marching Saprophytes', comprised of lead vocalist and drummer Vence De Rose, guitarist Dave Hillis and bassist Kirk Verhey. Verhey would take over the lead vocal position in time for 1985's debut 'Process Of Elimination'. Shane White departed before the second album and MACE drafted drummer David Kopler. Post MACE guitarist Dave Hillis would play an integral role in the rise of Seattle Grunge acting as producer for acts such as ALICE IN CHAINS, BLIND MELON and even PEARL JAM. Hillis would also co-found SNOWBALL with erstwhile FEMME FATALE vocalist Lorraine Lewis.
