DESTRUCTION - Sentence Of Death MCD

Slipcase. Comes with booklet and poster of the cover.

Similarly to what their country fellows Sodom and Kreator made in the early 80's, these German metallers brought out a release that would be part of the earliest wave in the black metal scene. Building on the blueprint of Venom, Motörhead (just look at the cover, three guys who look like the members of this band playing speedish music) and Celtic Frost, this release would address the band's obsessions with Satanism and deprivation that would best characterize black metal music. Black metal during the 80's consisted of thrashy or speedy numbers dealing with Satanism, plus other components, such as a raw and dirty production, tremendously distorted guitars, shrieky vocals, and an unbearably tense atmosphere; and this is what best describes Destruction's debut EP.
