简介

Mace debuted as a trio on the Metal Massacre V compilation, contributing the track "Marching Saprophytes". The song was miscredited on the sleeve and was, in fact, titled 'Marching Sacrifice', as correctly listed on the compilation Northwest Metalfest from Ground Zero Records in 1984. At that time, the band was 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. Ex-Mace guitarist Dave Hillis played an important role in the rise of Seattle grunge by acting as producer for such bands as Alice in Chains, Blind Melon, and even Pearl Jam. Hillis would also co-found Snowball with erstwhile Femme Fatale vocalist Lorraine Lewis.
