With the demo The Dreams You Dread, released in the same year, they drew the interest of Nuclear Blast Records resulting in a record deal.

With the demo The Dreams You Dread, released in the same year, they drew the interest of Nuclear Blast Records resulting in a record deal. Their first album, Subconscious Terror was released in 1990, followed by the departure of Barney, who joined Napalm Death. The debut was received well and a new vocalist, Dave Ingram was found soon. An extensive touring schedule in 1991 saw the band back out with Bolt Thrower and Nocturnus.
2. Gothic rock band from the UK. "Originally formed by Marc Helliwell (Keys/Sequences/Samples), and Rob Ascough (Guitars)in 1987 after they split away from their previous band "The Abyss" and moved closer to London in the search of Fame and Fortune. Initially Mike "Count" Klimsak the vocalist from "The Abyss" fronted the outfit, however this was short lived as he wasn't willing to move from the Devon Cider Country to the Bright Lights of the City. So in 1988 the Band was joined by ex-Four Came Home Singer, Sharon Lane. Benediction have played many gigs throughout the UK, which have included tour support dates with the Claytown Troupe, Altered States, Shark Taboo, Primal Scream, Felt and a few others."
