Arrival of the Dark Throne

What could be cooler than getting some fast sold-out demo through an easy trade, especially when it’s numbered to #66(6)/100?! Even though these young Germaniacs have a both unoriginal band name and demo title, this tape sounds like rather inspired stuff, which breathes all that’s good in German Blackened Thrash!

The first track is a mid paced intro, which continues in the shape of the track “Eternal War”. This song shows greatly who we have a deal with here – the badass sons of Venom and Sodom! Raw, dirty, brought to the extreme Witching Metal! This is what those young (15-17 y.o.) sons of evil are all about! “Vlad the Impaler” is the next track, done in the same vein. Again – cool Thrash riffs, nice solo and overall simple but great guitar work, basic drumming and bass work and a veeeery poisonous vokiller’s voice! There are some effects used there, but it’s still surprising to hear guys at this age (15?...) sounding so harsh and evil! Actually I can’t even understand almost a single word from the lyrics, not that it’s hard to guess what they’re about, haha! I would lie if I wrote that the third desecration “Underworld Alliance” delivers anything special beyond expected, but you can trust me that it sounds as great as the previous tracks, while the next, last song “Pedophiliac” is ! the highlight of this demo in my opinion! Every time I listen to this song – the main riff and the chorus riff get stuck in my head for a long period. I don’t know what the fuck the rancorous words coming from Jan’s poisoned lips in this song are, but I don’t think that this is a tribute to venom’s “Teacher’s Pet”…

So… It’s well known among underground maniacs that one can’t go wrong with a release done by Jerasac and this demo is not an exception, so It’s not that surprising that these talented Thrashers already signed a contract with Undercover Records (like Witchburner) for future releases. The demo also has a killer cover artwork that reminds me of Chris Moyen’s great drawings, done by the great Thai underground artist Sickness 666 (so here’s another reason to try and get a copy of this tape, even though it’s sold out). Those who missed the opportunity to get a copy of the tape – contact the band and buy the cd-r version (which doesn’t have the cool artwork though) before the band decides to stop producing them!
