Goreaphobia - Vile Beast of Abomination
March 23 2008 at 09:25:23 AM
A re-release of demo and live recordings by this group, billed as PA's first full-fledged death metal band, whose members later went on to Blood Storm and Immolation. The disc opens with several finely re-recorded and new tracks circa 2004 but is primarily worth seeking out for their earlier material. In particular,
Morbidious Pathology and the
Omen of Masochism EP are among the most ferocious and inventive recordings the genre has produced and, being vaguely similar to the early works of Incantation, Immolation, Morpheus and even Suffocation, are emblematic of the ways in which Death Metal began to evolve both from Speed metal and Grindcore. Also includes a cogent and exceptionally detailed—nearly 13 full pages—biography and scene history written by former
Decaying Visions video 'zine editor John Verca. The cover art is by Drew Elliot.
