Raped Ape

When people reflect on the Floridian metal scene of the late ’80s, groups like DEATH, OBITUARY and MASSACRE instantly spring to mind. Yet, there’s one band that despite never achieving the same glory some of their contemporaries enjoyed is still adored and respected amongst cultist metal fans all these years later. We’re talking about Lake Worth thrash heathens RAPED APE. Named after car mechanic slang for something moving very quickly, RAPED APE did precisely that within the Southern Florida metal scene.
