Description

Nick Sakes, Darin Gray and Blake Fleming formed Dazzling Killmen just outside of St. Louis, Missouri in 1990. The following year SKiN GRAFT Records made its debut with a 7in single and comic book set from the band. Shortly afterward, Tim Garrigan joined the group, and the quartet began writing and refining material for what would become the label's first, and the band's second and final full-length, 'Face of Collapse'.

Here's something special ! The Dazzling Killmen were formed in 1990 by Nick Sakes, Darin Gray and Blake Fleming. At the time the trio (or quartet as they were joined by Tim Garrigan around the same time) released a 7" and an LP on the Skin Graft Records label. The album was the band's second (and last) LP and was entitled "Face Of Collapse". It displayed some sort of progressive rock with screamy punk vocals. Skin Graft is re-releasing "Face Of Collapse" and added a second disc with bonus material on one side and special picture disc artwork on the other side. The package comes with a 16-page book and some more extras.
