Formed by the two young guitarists Alessio Garavello and Fabio Cavallaro during May 1996, the thrash metal band called Deluge started to perform some of the most famous bay-area thrash metal hits of the '80 written by Metallica and Megadeth. Between 1996 and 2002 the band line-up has changed many times trying to reach the perfect alchemy and during the summer of 2002 the italian thrash metal band GROUND CONTROL was finally formed.


GROUND CONTROL started to write some original stuff by the end of 2002 following the path of some of the most important bands of the bay-area thrash metal scene (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Testament) and mixing this powerful style with the U.s.a. hard rock melodies.
GC have recorded during Nov. 2004 the first demo called Demo 2k5 at Remaster Studio (Vi) Italy and then decided to return Remaster Studio during Oct. 2005 to give life to the first full-lenght entitled Insanity that included 10 tracks.

Here's the tracklist:
Intro
Days Of Justice
Insanity (In My Mind)
Alone
Vortex Of Violence
Truth
Oriental Sorrow
Face This Night
Free Your Soul
Metal Thrashing Mad

 
Unfortunately, in November 2007, Alessio has decided to leave the band for personal reasons and the group auditioned some musicians to fill this void.

AFTER LONG AND HARD AUDUTIONS, ON FEBRUARY 13TH 2008, GROUND CONTROL ANNOUNCES THE NEW LINE-UP DIRECTLY FROM HELL:
