Lack of money meant that studios couldn’t be booked for weeks, so the first logical release for starting bands was usually a self-released demo tape or a seven-inch vinyl, where they could squeeze in two to four tracks.
Even though we are talking about Finnish death metal here, the American record label Seraphic Decay, run by Steve O’Bannon, plays an important role in this story. It was the label that originally released the first 7” records for three Finnish bands: Disgrace’s Debts of God (1990), Abhorrence’s Abhorrence (1990) and Messiah Paratroops’ The Past (1992).

In the years that followed, death metal evolved into many different subgenres, but here we have three legendary releases rooted in the core of darkness and brutality from the formative years, none of which clock in at over 14 minutes. True gems, rotten little nuggets, for you to enjoy again and again. Box set cover art by Claws Costeau - instagram.com/clawzceee 3/3
