Abhorrence – Maggots: Original Artyfacts From the First Finnish Death Metal Era Part I

Description

Finnish death metal 7″ box set series to be released via Svart Records – Part I with Abhorrence, Disgrace &Messiah Paratroops out in April This is part of the story of the birth of early Finnish death metal. The late 80sand early 90s were a time when underground extreme metal flourished, and the main centrifugal force that
got bands known globally was tape trading. Influences spread like a disease, and young, emerging death metalgroups were eager to be more brutal than the next. Lack of money meant that studios couldnt be booked forweeks, so the first logical release for starting bands was usually a self-released demo tape or a seven-inchvinyl, 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 OBannon, plays an important role in this story. Itwas the label that originally released the first 7 records for three Finnish bands: Disgrace’s Debts of God(1990), Abhorrence’s Abhorrence (1990) the band that later morphed into Amorphis and MessiahParatroops’ 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 formativeyears, none of which clock in at over 14 minutes. True gems rotten little nuggets for you to enjoy againand again.
