Background information about 'Demos 1993-1994'

Austrian black metal legends Abigor deliver a stunning archaeological dig into their formative years with this comprehensive collection of their complete demo recordings from 1993-1994. This double album compilation brings together five crucial tapes - "Ash Nazg...", "lux devicta est", "promo tape 2/94", "Moonrise" and "In Hate & Sin" - that showcase the raw, unbridled energy of the band before they entered the professional studio realm. The direct and unveiled nature of these recordings invites listeners to step back into Abigor's rehearsal cellar and witness the genesis of what would become one of Austria's most influential black metal acts.

What makes this release particularly fascinating is how it captures the band's experimental phase, revealing a different side compared to their later polished Hörnix Studio recordings. The simple analogue production methods of the early '90s work their magic here, preserving that authentic underground atmosphere that defined the second wave of black metal. Accompanied by extensive photo material spanning 24 A4 pages and an in-depth interview covering everything from the formative 1980s through to their debut album deal, this collection serves as the ultimate memorial to those reckless bygone days.

For fans of:
Mayhem, Darkthrone, Emperor, Burzum and early Norwegian black metal pioneers
