MEZZROW - Then Came The Demos 2-LP (Coke Bottle Green Black Splatter Vinyl)

Superb Scandinavian Thrash Metal, an absolute highlight for Thrash Metal fans.

Limited to 100 copies.

We were around when the first wave of Thrash arrived during the mid 80’s, and we can say that this is the real deal.
Listening to this album brings us back to the days when we walked around with dirty white Nike shoes, stretch jeans, wore Slayer and
Testament T-shirts till they were in tatters and we would literally use our last money to buy a band’s album.
Our two favorite things about this album: the vocals and the riffs.
Singer Uffe Pettersson has a nice aggressive edge to his voice, very different from the high-pitched, bordering-on-falsetto screams that
bands like Anthrax and the like were using.
We would consider these to be pure Thrash vocals, never crossing the line into death metal territory, but angry and at times gruff as
befitting this style of music.
While the two don’t sound anything alike, I get a vibe from Uffe Petersson on this album that makes me think of James Hetfield on
“Ride the Lightning”.
You know, back when Metallica was an actual Thrash band instead of mainstream band.
The guitar sound is another standout; reasonably clean and easy to decipher but without sacrificing any heaviness.
The band even look right, opting for the accepted late 80’s Thrash “uniform” of ultra-long hair, ripped and faded jeans, leather motorcycle
jacket and high top sneakers.

• Completely remastered and restored to give it a 2022 punch
• Both the LP and the 2LP (with the demos) are limited and will not be repressed
• Will appeal to fans that like the 80’s records of Testament, Exodus en Overkill

Will 100% satisfy fans of good old Thrash bands like: Testament, Metallica, Xentrix, Death Angel, Overkill, Exodus
