They renamed themselves yet again in 1990 as The Slugs, and released a demo in mid-1990, but the band collapsed. Under that name they released a demo in mid-1989 and then renamed themselves again as Wrequiem, with their bassist Mike Savoie leaving the band and Todd Strange replacing him. The band hence replaced Hatch with Kevin Noonan and continued under the new name, Aftershock. The band collapsed when Mike Hatch, their guitarist, committed suicide in late 1988. He met Jimmy Bower, who was their drummer, and they quickly became friends. The band dates back to 1988, when Kirk Windstein joined the New Orleans hardcore punk band ShellShock. Through infusing a slow, low-keyed, brooding doom metal sound with the aggression of hardcore punk, they pioneered a style known as sludge metal – albeit frontman Kirk Windstein admitted a mild dislike to the term – alongside other bands of the New Orleans heavy metal scene such as Eyehategod, Soilent Green, Acid Bath, and Down.
