Phossatery (Bra) - Obscure Feelings (1994)


Phossatery (Bra) - Obscure Feelings (1994)

This is a real strange one.  This is your typical evil Brazillian 80's Thrash, except it was released in 1994.  Just goes to show that some styles continued on in obscurity very late in the game.  I had been after this for a very, VERY long time and was beginning to think it didn't even exist.  I was under the impression that since it was an LP pressed in 1994 there must not be many of these around, as is the case with many mid 90's releases.  The further you get into the 90's the less LPs were pressed and more CD's made due to the new format taking completely over at this time.  Most mid 90's records sell for insane amounts of money, even for very well known names.  Anyway, I actually ended up finding a copy and I had to have it, no matter what.  In all my time searching I had never seen one, so I wasn't going to let it get away.  The guy who sold it to me said that at the time it was pressed there was an error at the pressing plant and something went wrong and the audio recording sounded shit.  So the band stopped the pressing and I was told only about 30 actually made it out.  I am not sure if this is entirely true or not, just what I was told.  Whether that number is really is correct or not, there was still a low number produced and this thing is as rare as it gets.

The music itself though is very good.  Preaching Illusion intro going into Insane Scream is a bloodchilling experience and I rate this album just for that.  Afterwards it keeps the same pace and is more or less the same all the way to the end.  But I still recommend it highly, just for the first tracks and if you like that then there is no reason you won't enjoy the rest of it.  Truly a rarity to find something of this quality released in 1994.

  1. It seems that a CD edition will never be done for this rare stuff.
    Your rip sounds better than the one that was spread on the net that had a thin sound,maybe ripped from an old tape.
    I am not an expert about vinyl ripping as I prefer CDs but I noticed that your rips are in mono single channel or no stereo effect.
    Anyways thank for your work and promoting Old school bands
