Deathrash Mayhem

Top picks of the fast and the furious (deathrash = speed, aggression and energy):

Sadus (Kill Team) "Illusions"
Demolition Hammer "Tortured Existence"
Exhorder "Slaughter in the Vatican" (listening at this very moment)
Merciless "The Awakening" + demos
Massacra "Final Holocaust" & "Enjoy the Violence"
Kreator "Pleasure to Kill" + "After the Attack" track
Slaughter Lord  "Taste of Blood"
Malfeitor "Diabolical Youth"
MX "Simoniacal"
Exumer "Possessed By Fire"
Slayer "Reign in Blood" (the corner stone for all these recordings?)

Edit: How about "Darkness Descends"? How come it`s been forgotten? Dementia?

Hello, my name is Killjoy.... (letter from the true NECROPHAGIA from 1986 (their best time))

One of our fave stuff... Sodom terrorizing Western-Germany (and soon the rest of the world) in 1983.

Some cut-out pictures from magazines. Who cared to preserve them over 20 years ago? Cool pictures from cool bands were cut out immediately.

NB! Anvil picture is my first ever cut-out picture from 1987 or so. It was quite expensive to afford such small picture back then. Kind of black market stuff that was not available publicly. Yeah, very important information for you to read, ha ha.

Effigy of the Forgotten

Holy hell I love "Effigy of the Forgotten" album by Suffocation. Brutal Death Metal (although I am not so fond of this word combination) from New York from 1991. This was so new and un-heard when it was originally released (at least for me). I think they brought something new to Death Metal back then and many new bands started to copy them. But we can not blame Suffocation for influencing so many new bands (same case with Venom, Bathory, Kreator, Slayer and their countless copycats, so many boring imitators). Corpse Molestation / Bestial Warlust have used this Suffocation influence interesting way I think. Anyway, late Summer / Autumn 1991 brought also other good albums from New York: "Dawn Of Possession" and "Butchered At Birth" (just put this song "Innards Decay" at max volume on your headphones and say it is not good stuff, I can not believe you then!). This is/was the peak for so called Brutal Death Metal.

Suffocation `91

Evil Blood (pre- Lord Of Darkness)

Another killer long awaited stuff from  ex-Yugoslavia, precisely from Croatia. Evil Blood and their occult recordings "Midnight in a Sodom" (1983) and "Seventh Sabbath" (1985). People into easy listening a la Venom, Slayer, Hellhammer etc. should check this platter out. What will be next oldie-but-goldie release from this area? Lord of Darkness (1990)? Satanic Legion Of Death (1986)? Russian Winter (1985/86)?

One of the very first articles about the band featuring new members. It was published in 2nd half of 1988.

Tormentor (Hun)

Yesterday was Record Store Day and what it brought me then? Long awaited Tormentor demos pressed into vinyl. Musically maniacs know what it has to offer: Bathory influenced Black Speed Metal from 1987 and 1988. The extra booklets with rare killer photos and stories  plus overall quality of the release leaves me speechless. Top notch job!

On the picture: Tormentor "Anno Domini" LP + poster + flyer (1996), "Anno domini" LP + poster (2013), "The 7th Day of Doom" LP + poster (2013), letter from Vamosi Tamas (mid 90`s), tape trade Tormentor recordings (2 demos + 2 live recordings :"Live 1.4.1987 Budapest" and "Budapest 666 Festival 7.12.1986"). It could be that there is mistake with the dates because the handwriting of the guy who taped me those 18 years ago is just killing me!!!!)
