Hailing from the Canarsie section of Brooklyn, New York, Injustice were a old school death metal band formed in 1986 who included two members that will later pursue successful rapping careers (Ron Braunstein and Bill Braunstein, respectively better known as Necro and Ill Bill.) They were in their early teen years, with Ron being about 13 years old and Bill being about 16 years old (both pictured to the right in the first few seconds of this video.

On this demo, they played a death/thrash metal style while on their last demo, "Inhuman Conditions" (released 1990) was more straight death metal.

The band was comprised of:
Bill Braunstein (aka Ill Bill) - Bass, Vocals
Ron Braunstein (aka Necro) - Rhythm/Lead Guitar
Mike Nabatov - Lead/Rhythm Guitar
Mike Palmeri - Drums

Evidently, they split up around the release of their last demo because they felt like they weren't getting anywhere with the band, and half of the band (Necro and Ill Bill) began stepping into hip-hop careers. Through their short lived career, they did open at shows (mainly the legendary Lamours in Brooklyn) for bands like Obituary, Biohazard, Napalm Death and Sepultura.

To this day, both Necro and Ill Bill are still hip-hop artists and are increasingly growing in popularity today, collaborating with hip-hop and metal artists alike.
