Mystifier (Bra) - Göetia (1993)


Mystifier (Bra) - Göetia (1993)

Fuck I love this band, and this album in particular.  Half of the songs here are found on Wicca but honestly, I much prefer these recordings a lot more. Originally released in  1993 by French label Osmose, it omitted An Elizabethan Devil Worshipper's Prayer Book for some strange reason.  It is really beyond me since that is one of the best songs on the album.  Luckily, when it was released locally in the bands home country of Brazil by Hellion records they decided to add it again.  I really have no clue why they didn't do have it on the Osmose LP pressing.  It's there on the CD and you'd think they cut it due to space on the record itself being an issue, but they did it in Brazil, so who knows.  All I know is that right here is the Brazilian pressing, which is all you need.  Makes sense since it is a fucking Brazilian band, right?

Tracklisting:
  1. Aleister Crowley And Ordo Templi Orientis
  2. An Elizabethan Devil Worshipper's Prayer Book
  3. The Sign Of The Unholy Cross
  4. Caerimonia Sanguilentu (Goetia)
  5. Beelzebuth
  6. The Realm Of Antichristus
  7. The True Story About The Doctor Faust's Pact With Mephistopheles
  8. Cursed Excruciation/The Sinuous Serpent Of Genesis (Leviathan)

Macabre (USA) - Gloom (1989)


Macabre (USA) - Gloom (1989)

This was the first Macabre album I heard, and I am not sure what exactly it was I expected but I really wasn't expecting it to be like this.  From the get go, all of a sudden it's just this whirling frenzy of guitars, drums and bass.  First thing I noticed was how insane the drummer was, followed by actually being able to hear the bass and the playing together with the drums was crazy.  I don't think I'd ever heard something like that before, but it was insane.  Not to mention the vocals just to top it off.  It's a bit unfortunate that the album only goes for 24 minutes, I guess being almost as many songs as their are minutes on the album is why they added the two extra tracks, Funeral Home and Disease to the later CD pressing.  It seems to be just the right amount though, any more and I think it would just end up being a chore.

Also, I just have to add that the portraits of the band members on the back of the LP are fucking amazing.

Tracklisting:
  1. Embalmer
  2. Trampled To Death
  3. Holidays Of Horror
  4. Fritz Haarmann The Butcher
  5. Evil Ole Soul

Macabre (USA) - Grim Reality (1987)


Macabre (USA) - Grim Reality (1987)

Now this is what I call fast as fuck.  The speed and frantic pace of this is only matched maybe by Sadus, and for 1987 it's pretty early on for something like this.  All three of them are masters of their instruments, which can be heard on the Mass Murder instrumental/solo track.  I've seen them live a few times and I just don't know how Corporate Death can sing and play guitar the way he does all at the same time.

The pressing I have ripped here is the 1989 UK pressing by Vinyl Solution.  It adds two tracks, Disease and Natural Disaster which I am under the impression were recorded during the Gloom sessions, because they sure sound like it.  And to add to that, they were added as two bonus tracks to the 1998 Gloom CD release, so there you go.

Tracklisting:
  1. Serial Killer
  2. Mr. Albert Fish (Was Children Your Favourite Dish?)
  3. Disease
  4. Mass Murder (1. Sulfuric Acid 2. Morbid Curiosity 3. Lethal Injection)
  5. Son Of Sam
  6. Hot Rods To Hell
  7. Ed Gein
  8. Natural Disaster

Morgoth (Ger) - The Eternal Fall (1990)


Morgoth (Ger) - The Eternal Fall (1990)

More of the same as what you hear on the previous EP.  More of the same amazing artwork too, more of the same everything.  How can a Death Metal band that has a song about Tolkien be anything but good?  Everything here is great, a little bit louder, better production that does it true justice.  If you liked Resurrection Absurd then you'll definitely like this.  Hard for me to choose which one I prefer, I always listen to one after the other since they are only short EPs

Tracklisting:
  1. Burnt Identity
  2. Female Infanticide
  3. White Gallery
  4. Pits Of Utumno
  5. Eternal Sanctity

Deicide (USA) - Deicide (1990)


Deicide (USA) - Deicide (1990)

Fuck, fuck, FUCK.  This is it, here it is, fucking fuck, Deicide's first album.  What a monster.  If I had to choose my all time favourite Death Metal album, I'd be hard pressed to choose between Mortem's Demon Tales or this, but I think Deicide would only just win.  Ten fucking points to the music, ten fucking points to the artwork, ten fucking points to the aggression shown here, a fucking perfect fucking album.  FUCK.  Every sing song here, Lunatic Of Gods Creation, Sacrificial Suicide, Mephistopheles, Deicide, just all of them for fuck sake.  The riffs, the vocals, the way it all phrases together perfectly, it really is something else.  I don't know what kind of little bitch complained about the second vocal track with the demonic pitch shifted vocals, but fuck them the little fucks.  I love the backing vocals without the pitch shifting on Legion, but really, it's fucking Deicide.  Satan, Demons, yelling shit at Jesus, killing cunts ie Jim Jones, as if that doesn't warrant the use of demonic possession like vocals.

Tracklisting:
  1. Lunatic Of God's Creation
  2. Sacrificial Suicide
  3. Oblivious To Evil
  4. Dead By Dawn
  5. Blaspherereion
  6. Deicide
  7. Carnage In The Temple Of The Damned
  8. Mephistopheles
  9. Day Of Darkness
  10. Crucifixation

Cancer (UK) - Death Shall Rise (1991)


Cancer (UK) - Death Shall Rise (1991)

Another Vinyl Solution release, this time from the mighty Cancer out of the UK.  They sure did make up for their more than woeful Thrash scene with Death Metal the likes of Bolt Thrower, Benediction, Carcass, Napalm Death and Cancer.  In typical Death Metal style at the time, this was recorded over in Florida by none other than Scott Burns at Morrisound Studios.  Because what band of the time didn't?  This new album also brings in a new, second guitarist, and lo and behold who would that be? James Murphy of course, because what band of the time didn't?  Gone are the Thrash elements of the previous album and now all that is left is full blown Death Metal.  Highly recommended, as with the first album.

Tracklisting:
  1. Hung, Drawn And Quartered
  2. Tasteless Incest
  3. Burning Casket
  4. Death Shall Rise
  5. Back From The Dead
  6. Gruesome Tasks
  7. Corpse Fire

Messiah (Che) - Extreme Cold Weather (1987)


Messiah (Che) - Extreme Cold Weather (1987)

I always knew these guys were a bit strange and not at all serious, but this album cover still to this day confuses the hell out of me.  I knew the first album was a bit strange, but I thought it was maybe just them being Swiss chocolate eating freaks.  It wasn't until I finally had a copy of this album in my hands, looking at that polar bear, then reading the lyrics.  It was then when I read the lyrics to Extreme Cold Weather that I knew these guys were seriously just joking around and taking the piss. How can you not be with lyrics like these:

I hope I won't freeze my toes off,
cause then I will have to cough.
There is an icicle hanging from my bum,
and there lies my neighbour's frozen mum.

I rest my case.  Good album though.

Tracklisting:
  1. Extreme Cold Weather
  2. Enjoy Yourself
  3. Johannes Paul Der Letzte (Dedicated In Hate To Pope John Paul II)
  4. Hyper Borea
  5. Radezky March: We Hate To Be In The Army Now
  6. Nero
  7. Hymn To Abamelin
  8. Messiah
  9. Space Invaders
  10. Thrashing Madness
  11. Golden Dawn
  12. The Last Inferno
  13. Resurrection

Messiah (Che) - Hymn To Abramelin (1986)


Messiah (Che) - Hymn To Abramelin (1986)

This is a bit of a weird one, but then again when you look at bands like Celtic Frost, it's not all that uncommon for those Swiss cunts to be a little bit weird at times.  Fierce ripping black/death thrash that'll tear your ballbag clean off.  More than half of the songs have weird titles,  Why do they have a song about Space Invaders, who writes about The Dentist and what does it mean by Messiah "(Extra Version)"?  To top it off, there are some strange spoken word intros to some of the tracks, "Good people, bad musicians", what?

They pressed 7000 copies of this album, the first 2000 being in a black print and the second print of 5000 copies being in a red print, which I have here.  This was the first release by Chainsaw Murder (CM 001) and the label would only put out 4 other releases after this, the next Messiah album, two more MLPs by Swiss bands Excruciation and Calhoun Conquer, and the legendary Pentagram Chile 7".  Not too bad for only 5 releases.

Tracklisting:
  1. Hymn To Abramelin
  2. Messiah (Extra Version)
  3. Anarchus
  4. Space Invaders
  5. Thrashing Madness
  6. Future Aggressor
  7. Empire Of The Damned
  8. Total Maniac
  9. The Dentist
