Damnation - Divine Darkness (1994)

 

Damnation (SWE)
Album : Divine Darkness (Demo)

Well know for their brillant album Destructo Evangelia. Damnation started as Bathory tribute band by Peter Stjärnvind (ex-Merciless, ex-Entombed, ex-Unanimated and since 2006 drummer for Black/Thrash diabolic horde Nifelheim and also Doom project Krux) and became Damnation with Vocalist/Guitarist Richard "Daemon"  Cabeza (ex-Dismember, ex-Carbonized, first vocalist of General Surgery and a lot of session/live works) and Björn Gramell (bass). Terrible first strike influenced, of course, by Bathory and, i think, first Dissection album released the year before this demo.
Recommended !

2. The Dark Divine

Gohr al Krohn - La Cour de Lucifer (2000)

Gohr al Krohn - La Cour de Lucifer

Gohr al Krohn (FRA)
Album : La Cour de Lucifer (Demo)

Back to my first upload (january 2009!) with french one man's band Gohr al Krohn's and their demo self-released in 2000. Symphonic influenced Black Metal. To put it in the time, in 1999, Dimmu Borgir release the Spiritual Black Dimensions album and will be invited on french television (Nulle Part Ailleurs on Canal+).  For sure, higly influent together with Cradle of Filth (Midian out in 2000) on this period. This demo sound like proof of it. Not bad, not terrible. The leading soul of Gohr al Krohn - Valnoir Mortasonge - is actualy much know as Metastazis and his artistic works for Ascension, Blut aus Nord, Alcest, Morbid Angel, Paradise Lost, Watain, etc.

Betrayer - Kruzifixion (1991)

 
 
Betrayer (AUT) 
Album : Kruzifixion (Demo)

First demo of Pre-Belphegor (Betrayer). I'm not fan of the recent Belphegor stuffs but The Last Supper was one of the first Death Metal i get when i was young and i liked and listen a lot this fanta-shit album. The production of this first incarnation of the austrian band is decent. Expect 4 tracks of rotting and blasphemous Death Metal!

1. Day After Day
2. Kruzifixion
3. Shades of Doom
4. Sacrifice

Catharsis - Souvenirs of a Past Existence (1995)

 

Catharsis (BEL) 
Album : Souvenirs of a Past Existence (Demo)

Heavily influenced by Gorefest, Entombed, Sepultura & Kreator, this obscure band from southern Belgium released their only demo in 1995 (not 1988 as noticed on Metal-Archives). More than decent, i think, its solid demo! Any re-release but i have, from one of the former member, the master CD of this demo ripped in 320 kbps. Give it a try !

1. Intro
2. Lost in Pain
3. Souvenirs of a Past Existence
4. In the Deepest of My Soul
5. My Dream is Broken
6. All That Negative Experience
7. So Far, So Near, So Nevertheless

Born in '89. Metalpossessed since 2000 jubileum. I growned with mainstream MTV's metal bands but also with Heavy & Thrash classics (on dubbed tape!) and more later discovered the Extreme Metal beasts and the strange abyss of underground. I have collected during those years 1000 items. I got the metalized blood forever and ever! I will share here many albums or demos i found very interesting or just fucking necessary.
