Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is the debut album from Terrorvision, released in 1993 on Total Vegas Recordings. It was produced by Pat Grogan and the band, who recorded it at The Chapel in June 1992 with Fulton Dingley assisting. Gil Norton mixed three of the tracks, "New Policy One", "My House" and "Human Being", while Grogan and the band handled the rest. Every song was written and arranged by the group themselves.
The record first appeared on Total Vegas in December 1992, and a version on EMI followed in May 1993. That makes it the starting point for a band who went on to make How to Make Friends and Influence People the following year. If you want to hear Terrorvision's alternative and hard rock sound before the wider attention arrived, this is the place to begin.
