While famous for being the starting point for multiple prominent death metal musicians, they are a revered act in their own right that many a death metal fan lamented the demise of; when their 2016 reunion was announced, many a fan rejoiced.Formed in Kansas City, Missouri in 1995 by Pete Helmkamp (vocals, bass) and Gene Palubicki (guitars), they quickly found a promising young drummer by the name of John Longstreth the following year and wasted no time in inducting him into the lineup; a demo, Goats to Azazeal, quickly followed, and it was evidently enough to get them a deal with the French-based label Osmose Productions. In addition, a second guitarist by the name of Bill Taylor joined, and Hammer of Gods, their full-length debut, came out in August of that year to great reviews. Much touring and several limited-release singles followed, and Exterminate, their sophomore album, quickly followed in 1998. Its distinctly more death metal-leaning direction alienated some of the black metal-leaning fans, but it was met with great fanfare nonetheless. That same year brought a relocation to Tampa, FL in November, which Longstreth could not swing (resulting in his departure); while Taylor was able to make it, he left almost immediately after. Longstreth was replaced by Tony Laureano in 1999, but Taylor was not replaced and the band continued as a three-piece. This new lineup recorded and released The Inexorable that same year, along with a split with Martire. Unfortunately, the band broke up that same year; a demo compilation and a live album were released posthumously, but the band was dead as a doornail.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })That changed in 2006, when Helmkamp and Palubicki decided to resurrect the band. After a brief stint with Gina Ambrosio on drums, Longstreth (now distinctly more famous due to his involvement with Origin) returned; the result was Of Lucifer and Lightning, their first album in eight years, along with multiple tours. Unfortunately, tensions within the band resulted in Longstreth leaving once again, and after a revolving door of drummers came and went, Helmkamp and Palubicki finally called it quits for good in 2009. In spite of the unlikely nature of a reunion due to the various projects of Helmkamp and Palubicki plus some tension between the two, however, a 2016 reunion including Ronnie Parmer (Palubicki's drummer in Perdition Temple) was announced in late 2015 on at least a live basis. Bill Taylor was originally slated to be part of the reunion, but all parties agreed that it was for the best for him to limit his musical activities to Immolation and Perdition Temple. This is not a permanent reunion, however; after 2017, the band will become permanently inactive once again. The band spiritually still exists as Perdition Temple, but all parties have stated that Angelcorpse proper will never see the light of day again.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Death Metal: While heavily influenced by black metal, they were ultimately rooted in this.

Black Metal: Heavily influenced by it; while leaning much more towards the "death" side of the spectrum overall, Hammer of Gods was closer to it than anything else they've done.
