Weert based Speed Metal band SPEEDICA was created by erstwhile ANGER personnel, guitarists Raymond C., bassist Raymond Heijdendael and drummer Pierre Heijdendael. As such, the group first performed live on 5th October 1986 at the 'Amateurpop' festival in Bartok-Born. Another ANGER guitarist, Henk Hamers, enrolled in 1987. That same year the MENACY and BOONDOGGLE credited Hans Reinders was acquired as lead vocalist. A further change saw the introduction of guitarist MARCEL COENEN in 1988.

SPEEDICA's 1989 demo tape 'Shadows Of Tomorrow' was recorded at the Iris Sound Production Studios in Venlo with engineer Wim Kauffman. Both singer Hans Reinders and guitarist MARCEL COENEN would feature in FORM. Coenen would also work with SUN CAGED, APOGEE, AURA, LEMUR VOICE and HUBI MEISEL. A solo album, 'Guitar Talk', emerged in 2003.
