Coming soon! Master unreleased 1985 album
Finally, the most legendary extreme metal recordings will see its return in full glory.
Originally recorded to become the band’s debut on Combat records, they were shelved and never saw a proper release.
Ten years ago Displeased did a release of the recordings.
28 years after it was recorded these album demo recordings now will finally get the release they deserve, by the Dutch Vic Records.
I’m proud to say that I got the privilege to contribute to the release with the design and painting of the front cover
