ADDICTIVE

Addictive was a thrash metal band, that formed in 1988 that was part of the Sydney thrash metal scene of the late 1980s. It was particularly influenced by Metallica, Sacred Reich and Nuclear Assault. The original line-up of the band was Greg Smith (vocals and bass), Joe Buttigieg (guitar), Mick Sultana (guitar) and Matt Coffey (drums). Its first album, 'Pity Of Man' was released November 1989. Steve Moore (ex-Enticer) replaced Coffey on drums. Its second album, 'Kick 'Em Hard', was recorded in 1991 with producer Bob Daisley of Rainbow fame. The master tapes for the album went missing for over 18 months, and it was finally released in February 1993, by which time the band had fallen from favour, and while they continued to play live infrequently, Addictive finally broke up in 1996. A short time later, Moore joined Dungeon. In 2004, guitarists Buttigieg and Sultana joined the reformed line up of legendary Sydney thrash band Mortal Sin, although Buttigieg left that group in early 2005. In 2014 US label Divebomb Records released a compilation of both albums plus bonus tracks.
