eulogy_-_death-till-thrash

Florida death metal band Eulogy has re-issued its discography as a limited edition CD and vinyl album on Dark Symphonies Records. The recording features the 1993 EP The Essence, which is both heavily bootlegged and even more insanely overpriced than normal on eBay, and the 1992 demo “Dismal.” Both releases have been remastered from the original analog tapes.

The CD is available from the Dark Symphonies online shop.

Sadistic Metal Reviews — September 1, 2016

fecal_butterfly

Humans are by nature delusional. They overestimate their importance and demand that reality fit their simple expectations. And yet, they are very good at mastering known skills, so they are highly proficient, but void of purpose. This hollowness is the left side of the metal Bell Curve, and to separate it from the good stuff, we have Sadistic Metal Reviews!
