More about 'It's Time To Face The Reaper - The Demos 84-86'

This raw and uncompromising collection brings together the essential demo recordings from British thrash metal pioneers Sacrilege during their formative years between 1984 and 1986. "It's Time To Face The Reaper - The Demos 84-86" captures the band at their most visceral and urgent, showcasing the brutal foundation that would establish them as one of the UK's most influential extreme metal acts. These seventeen tracks reveal a band hungry for sonic destruction, blending crushing riffs with politically charged lyrics that tackled everything from social injustice to personal demons. The production maintains that gloriously gritty demo quality that thrash purists absolutely live for - you can practically feel the sweat dripping from the studio walls.

What makes this compilation particularly special is how it documents Sacrilege's evolution from their earliest, most primitive recordings to the more refined brutality that would define their later work. Tracks like "Apartheid" and "Bloodlust" hit with the force of a sledgehammer, while deeper cuts like "Flight Of The Nazgul" show the band's willingness to experiment with atmosphere and dynamics. The raw energy captured here is absolutely infectious, reminding us why demo tapes were such treasured artifacts in the underground metal scene.

For fans of:
Celtic Frost, Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, and early Metallica
