From the 1989 album "Human Wreckage"

D.A.M. (Destruction and Mayhem?) was a thrash metal band from Lancashire, England. They were formed by ex-metal heart guitarist John Bury and his brother Phil in 1986, debuting with a 3-track demo entitled "Human Wreckage"?. The tape received good, solid reviews from the metal press - in-particular Metal Forces in the UK - taking its cue from "Ride the Lightning":?-era Metallica and a classic NWOBHM sound. Stuart Capstick's vocals, especially on the lead track, were very reminiscent of Hetfields earnest teen-growl of the time. Together with Maiden-esque twin guitar attacks and fist-pumping chorus' D.A.M. developed a strong local fan-base, good touring spots and attention from the rock press and metal labels.

It was only with an overhauled line-up and Capstick??s departure (the band swelling to a five-piece with the arrival of vocalist Jason McLoughlin and Andy Elliot on bass, as well as the timely addition of Elly (ex-Hard Line)) did the band introduce a tighter, faster and more creative - but no less thrashy - edge to the sound. McLoughlin??s vocals contributed bite, a vicious sneer and a greater range than his predecessor. Where the former was a Hetfield wanabee Jason was forging a style much of his own, much to the benefit of his fellow band members. The news on the street was that, supported by a strong management team, the band had secured a deal with German label Noise Records?.
