As far as I am concerned the debut of British Death Metal masters DESECRATOR is a little underground gem. At least in my humble opinion. This band might be unkown to most of the people out there as “Subconscious Release” got lost somehow in 1991 in the glut of early 90s Death Metal releases. One factor was maybe their small label R.K.T. Records, but who knows?

Autistically perseverating will not get you want you want.
I learned a new word today. Lol.
Or maybe the album sucked and was rightly discarded from the canon of classics.
What is this weird metalhead fixation on “hidden gems” anyway? Is it distressing to think that the outstanding metal releases are all already well-known? Noteriety doesn’t diminish their quality.
Many are well-known but unheard. The average hesher cannot explain why Onward to Golgotha is more coherent than Ride the Lightning or why “Incantation” the Grotesque song is better than anything on later Incantation albums.
It just is, just like Goatpenis is war!
Goatpenis – WAR – Goatpenis
Please do tell how is it better ?
What do you guys think of Asphyx’s second and third albums?
Second one is equal to the first, mostly because all of the songs from The Rack and Last One on Earth were written during the same time period. Pretty similar situation to Altars of Madness and the b-side of Blessed Are the Sick in that regard.
Third one has actually been touted as the pinnacle of Asphyx by this site in ages past, but I never really got into it myself. Not saying it’s bad; it just hasn’t grabbed me like their first two or Embrace the Death.
That’s interesting. I assumed Last One on Earth was not as highly regarded as it replaced some of the more esoteric riff patterns with more straightforward mosh riffs. Still a highly rewarding listen.
Write your own review and start a blog, damn. But ahoy, Warmaster, good band with the greatest frontman in death metal. Has anyone on the DMU staff seen them live?
Yes. They kill. R.G. is crazy with the sword. He shares Karl Willets’ anti-photographers in the front row stance
No one on the DMU staff has seen them live because staff members don’t leave their basements.
Boring.
