This line up would last until 1984. they went to Twilight Recording Studios in Manchester, and recorded their first demo; including the songs: I HATE THE PIGS/ RELIGION/ YOUTH IS TO BLAME/ and 3rd WORLD WAR; Death Zone now played lots of gigs then went back into Twilight and recorded their 2nd demo,SOMETHING'S WRONG/ NUCLEAR ARMS-RACE/ COWARDLY ASSASSIN and STREET GANGS, the song The Youth is to Blame from the 1st demo was released on CONFLICT'S , WHO WHAT WHY WHEN WHERE Compilation LP, which got the band a lot of coverage in international fanzines and also in Maximum Rock & Roll and Punk Lives Magazine.
