German death/thrash metal band from Ulm. Active from 1982 to 1987. POISON participated on the "Teutonic Invasion Part One" sampler LP by Roadrunner Records
in 1987. A stipulation of being featured included signing a contract
with Roadrunner forbidding the band to sign a contract with any other
company within a twelve-month period. While Roadrunner had the option to sign the band within this time frame, it never happened. After six months or so of waiting and
rehearsing, POISON split-up and "Into The Abyss" was their only official release.
