undeniably cult, first truly significant recording by historic Finnish outfit, featuring early line-up, was vigorously captured in August 1991 at Tico Tico studio, which soon became a refuge for extreme-sounding bands, while sound engineer Ahti Kortelainen made a major contribution to distinctive, confrontational and chaotic sonic identity, balancing on the edge of grind and black metal with a subtly embedded hardcore influence, thematically focusing on provocative, apocalyptic Satanism and desecration of religion, crowned by Mika's hysterical shriek; several cuts of ten track effort later found their way onto the legendary full-length debut as well, yet most of the raw, feverish pieces remain unique, recorded exclusively for this demo, provoking with an unprecedented, lunatic, unpredictable audacity; recent French trifold sleeve oxblood red vinyl edition with a remastered sound is limited to 498 units
