Radiation Sickness was formed in Indianapolis, IN in 1987 by Doug Palmer and Ryan Rollins. The band was formed mainly on addiction, depression and the love for extreme underground music. The bands first guitar player soon left and Rick Callaway joined in. Soon after Mike Herald was added on drums due to his blast beat abilities and double kick skills. The band recorded their legendary "Elvis Ain't Dead" demo. This demo used influences from many groups such as Napalm Death, Chaos UK, Discharge, Slayer, Cryptic Slaughter and The Accused. Radiation Sickness spent every minute playing every show they could. Tragedy struck the band in 1989 when founding member Ryan Rollins gave into his depression and committed suicide. The band pressed on adding Byron Holton to Bass. Radiation Sickness went into the studio in 1990 to record a classic underground LP entitled "The Other Me, A Journey into Insanity". This record received great reviews more countless touring and even landed Radiation Sickness on the legendary "A Day of Death Festival" the first of it's kind in Buffalo, New York with Cannibal Corpse, Autopsy, Suffocation and many others. In October 2010 Radiation Sickness performed a one time reunion show with all original Sickness members, except for Rick on guitar. Long time friend of the band Tom Ball joined in on guitar and brought more talent and brutal riffs to the band. RS said what the fuck that was a blast and played a couple more shows. They now have recorded and are ready to release their first studio record in twenty plus years. It will be released on Abyss Records and is entitled "Reflections of a Psychotic Past" the release will also include a re-mastered copy of the 1990 release "The Other Me, A Journey into Insanity".

Press Quotes

'What we have here is nineteen raging tracks that serve as positive proof Radiation Sickness are indeed back from the fucking dead!!'

     —Nate of the Living Dead, forbidden-magazine

'RADIATION SICKNESS offer a hearty serving of good songs that make you move and break your neck with the succession of brilliant riffs dripping with all the hate and anger in the world. 8/10'

     —Manuel Sevillano, www.queensofsteel.com

'The band seems finally completely comfortable with themselves and what they are about, and able to exude the full magnitude of their talents. It is good to see when a band hits their stride, and is ready to dominate all who are in their way.'
