Metallum seems to give the date as 1994, but the text on this tape indicates otherwise, so who knows.

Dang why so underrated
Hey M, any chance you also have the Goat Molestation and Blasphemous Nudity tapes? This is really good!
great
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!😮
Thank you!
This album lives up to its title; also at 9:19 I thought guitar was going into Lymphatic Phlegm melodic territory, but instead it's a proud riffy hook. Other guitarwork ranging from bm melodic lines to chugs, etc. Erstwhile pitter-patter of drumwork charming, and with clean bass, deformed but not overly-grim vocals, tastefully cavernous some, doomy parts it all gels into unique animal
Great dement music
⚰️💀🪦 666
I can now say I have this demo. Just came in the mail this morning
Glad to hear it again after fkn ages! The guys were from my neighbourhood🤘
Thanks for posting this video! This will suffice till I get the original tapes transferred!
Hello! Is there any chance you still have the second tape?
They recorded a 7ep With a cali Colombian label calls symphony of death records in 1993, I sold some of them arround the World.
Yes
is that the band with the tattoo artist ???as vocalist?
Frank Drago, the vocalist, did comment on this in the past and at least from I can see he works with motorcycles. No idea about anything tattoo related though.
@@acircleofdarkness I was thinking Ricky Meyers , disgorge guys cause there was a band with THE tattoo artist the guy who created all the gore image artwork including but not limited to lol she lay gutted artwork I can't remember his name
No comments??? Well here's one...this is another awesome 90s PA DM band that should've been signed back in the day!! Classic PA DM... Mythic, Necrotion, Gehenna, Cemetary Earth, Haunted, Rottrevore, Derketa, Goreaphobia, Polterchrist, Insatanity, Namtaru, Sub Effect, Threnody, Mi'gauss, Atricide, Ossuary, Sathanas, Necrotomie, Eviscium, Afterbirth, Divination, Crucifier, Bathym, Hearse, Nunslaughter, Perverseraph, Graven Image, Deteriorate, Morgatory, Lethal Prayer, etc!!
100% Agree. Shame they never really got the recognition they deserve!
@@acircleofdarkness Yeah man...the related band Dethroned from West Virginia that had a few of the same members was an awesome also.
Would love to see a Sarcophagus 'demos compilation' reissue cd sometime soon...they were an impressive 90s IL death metal band!!
Excelente. Hail!!!!!! Mortuary Drape.
Thanks for this upload I am trying to find all of Arthemesia songs and this was hard to find
very cool, thanks for the upload!
sick
this is their best demo.
I'm inclined to agree. It is certainly the one I listen to the most.
Very cool, Salute ! 👹
Incredible demo. If they could have recorded the album in 94 it would have been even heavier.
Was it ever explained why there was such a long gap between Dawn and Here?
@@eslwgpg1226label problems
@@eslwgpg1226I think it was just because Roadrunner dropped them after releasing Dawn of Possession and so it took a bit for Here in After to be recorded/released
@@6.thedollar415 I see. Thanks
Somehow this band gets the sound of demos and albums backwards, as in their demos sound better than the studio albums. This 1994 demo sounds better than _Here in After,_ and their 1989 demo sounds better than _Dawn of Possession._
I'm inclined to agree. As much as I like the albums, the sound on the demos is what I have preferred. A lot more sinister sounding and it suits the music more.
Suena aun mas pesado y oscuro que el album. Gracias por compartir. Death metal rules the world!!!
This is the best sounding version of these tracks I've come across. I have a bootleg that sounds like absolute crap.
Can anyone tell if this was sourced from video?
Fuck I love this band!🤘I also believe these guys will outlast their peers and I don’t mean that disrespectfully at all, from the beginning you could tell this band had something to say musically and now their new album is just around the corner and I still get so incredibly excited like I did as a teen. Fine wine, professional, quality I could go on! Hail🤘
this is amazing. I was in contact with Rood back in the 90's and he featured my old band Drohm on one of his comps. killer!
Excellent! Always wondered what happened to him but I lost touch with most everyone from around that time over the years. Sadly I only have one issue of the zine still, but I do still have the tapes including that particular one. Glad to see you are still making music!
ty random band on Metal Archives and ty for uploading!
You are very welcome!
you are amazing for even owning such a gem can we be friends?
Ave 🤘🤘
Very good stuff 🤘
It is indeed! Cheers!
Thanks for this upload finaly 🤘🏻
You're welcome!
タケミさんお元気でしょうかね~⁉️ 憧れのドラマーです~‼️
My Japanese isn't very good... Cheers all the same!
Recuerdos de hace mil años. ¡Excelente grupo asiático!
Wonder why they took so long to release that second lp, these songs are as good if not a little better than those on Dawn of possession
I have no idea myself, but I'd been keen to know if there was a reason for the delay.
They wanted out of their contract with Roadrunner and then had no label and had to sort of start all over again. Eventually they got a deal with Metal Blade and got the opportunity to write and record Here in After.
Great uploads subscribed
Thank you and much appreciated!
Guys rule proud owner of requiem to the death of passion solid album
Agreed! I think I have all their material, but I really wish there was more of the death metal stuff!
@@acircleofdarkness agreed aswell man lookin forward to more of your uploads cheers!
🤘
Thanks for the upload! I spent a good amount of time in the mid 2000s trying to find this cassette but couldn't, finally able to hear it! Surprisingly good, sounds are pretty weird as expected :). I assumed it to be much worse since these are the only tracks I know of in EToS discography, I haven't been able to hear yet. Tracks in Bard's Burial demo are the same versions as in first album. I hope the pre EToS demos, Moshington D.C. - Beyond The Fantasy and Andromeda - The Fourth Dimension surface sometime too :)
My pleasure and thanks for taking the time to write! I'm glad I could help in finally ending that long search. I am not sure if I have any of that material, but I really gave up trying to keep track of it all. If I do dig them up as I work through all the boxes, I will be sure to upload them!
Q miedoooo mamiiiiiiiii aiidaaaaaaaaa
I must serach this demo in my collection 👍
Ożesz KURWA!!! Nareszcie ktoś wrzucił :-) Jestem z Zabrza- pamiętam piękną sztukę jaka zagrali w knajpce Pegaz koło restauracji Balaton...Kojarzy ktoś???
Audio taken from darkness attack vhs
Correct! I couldn't place it at all but it sounded familiar and this is why. Thank you very much for that. I will update the description.
Znałam dobrze chłopaków z zespołu szkoda ze sie rozpadło
I don't speak Polish but I think google translate got the point across. If you still speak to them, let them know they made something great, and it is indeed too bad they didn't continue. Cheers!
@@acircleofdarkness The band made some song for the demo 1998 I guess , and thats all from them
OLD SCHOOL...
The best school
🤘🏿 X 7
It's great to see the WHOLE release up!!! I have this and "Dust Thou Art, and to Dust Thou Has Returned". Two great releases in my opinion. Do you have plans to put up the other demo?
Hello! I would love to put the other one up, but I can't seem to find where I put it and I fear I may have lost it sometime in the past. A shame because I really enjoyed both tapes. Would it be possible to send you a blank tape for a dub?
@@acircleofdarkness let me see if I still have my tape duplicator. If I do, I have no problem dubbing the tape and making a copy of the inlay and sending it back to you. Of course the inlay wouldn't be the green color but, instead just b/w. You in the U.S.?
@@z28crossfire65 That would be great - I certainly don't mind a b/w cover at all! I am originally from the US, but I moved across the ocean many years ago. Drop me a mail if you don't mind and we can discuss there further, if that is alright with you. Cheers!
@@acircleofdarkness Don't see a way to send you a private message.
@@z28crossfire65 I'm not entirely sure either, now that I have a look... Here is my e-mail: ra19h50m47sdec8deg52.6[at]gmail
