PREDATOR were a thrash band from Dublin. They formed in 1987. They recorded a self-titled demo tape in 1988 which led to them getting a deal with Dublin's Solid Records for the release of their ‘Predator EP’ the same year. Also in 1988, they had the track ‘Missing In Action’ feature on a cassette only, Solid Records Sampler Compilation called ‘Solid Citizens’.

They supported ANTHRAX on the Irish leg of the 'State of Euphoria' tour in Omagh, Bangor and Dublin. This tour is remembered for ANTHRAX walking off stage because of spitting from the crowd. They also supported Queensrÿche on the Irish leg of the 'Operation : Livecrime' tour in the SFX, Dublin and Ulster Hall, Belfast. [SOURCE]

Best!

Lagunya bersemangat. Walaupun dilabel sebagai band Thrash Metal namun bunyinya lebih Heavy Metal NWOBHM yang agresif. Di kebanyakan tempat ada rujukan kepada Iron Maiden (album pertama dan Killers) dan juga Helloween zaman Kai Hansen. Suara vokalisnya pun menarik, ada karektor.

Saya bersetuju dengan komen peminat Metal Ireland, bahawa ini adalah Irish's lost gem. Ayuh headbang di dalam ofis beramai-ramai.
