Thrash/speed metal, Sweden, 1986
Demo
The production is possibly above average for the time. The drums are for the most part clear, vocals are some what hazy but that's mostly the vocalists style (ghoulish harsh screams soaked in reverb), guitars and bass are very surprisingly clear.
The riffing is where this band shines, they alternate between simple Teutonic thrashing and more complex, solo/leads inside a twisting song structures. I am quite surprised at how well this band is musically developed considering their time and place. The song Frost of Inferno features an acoustic intro with a long airy solo over top. In fact there are plenty of solos, solos may take up more time throughout this twenty minute demo than the vocals do.
It's no surprise why this band helped kick started Sweden's extreme metal scene. Unfortunately they never got past releasing two demos.
- Betrayed Truth
- Act Dead
- Missing in Action
- Frost of Inferno
