Mayhem - Live in Leipzig (1993) [Reissue 2015]

 

Per Yngve Ohlin (16 January 1969 - 8 April 1991), better known by his stage name Dead, was a Swedish black/death metal vocalist and lyricist best known for his work with Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. He also performed as vocalist of the Swedish death metal band Morbid on their demo December Moon.
 In early 1986, he founded the Swedish death metal group Morbid, with which he recorded a demo tape called December Moon. Shortly afterwards, he decided the band wasn't going anywhere and contacted the members of Mayhem. According to Mayhem bassist Jørn 'Necrobutcher' Stubberud, he initially sent them a small package containing a demo tape, a letter, and a crucified mouse. Although Necrobutcher lost the package itself, he kept the tape which had Dead's contact details. Dead moved to Norway and joined the band in early 1988.

Tracks 6 and 11 only available on the original LP; taken from the CBR Projections of a Stained Mind compilation, both tracks feature Dead on vocals. Later on, they appeared on the split with The Meads of Asphodel and also on the bootleg Morbid/Mayhem split A Tribute to the Black Emperors.

Live in Leipzig was originally spread by the band in early 1991 as a live demo tape. Dead did a couple of different covers for this limited release.

Legendary, yet roughly produced live album. The gig featured heavy atmospheric effects such as severed pig heads impaled on wooden spikes. The band's clothes were decayed and soiled. Pieces of rotting meat were thrown into the audience and given to people. Dead also was noted on slicing himself open during the show. The band arrived in Leipzig with all instruments by train.

Sarcófago - Desecration Of Demos (2012)

 

According to Wagner, the band split up in 1987 after recording I.N.R.I. album and reformed in 1989.
Pussy Fucker played with the band only few gigs.
The front cover of the band's debut album, I.N.R.I., is regarded as a great influence on black metal's corpse paint style make-up.
 That record is also considered one of the "first wave" albums that helped shape the genre. Their second LP, The Laws of Scourge, was one of the first technical death
 metal records to be released.
The band broke up in 2000, after releasing the Crust EP. Former members, minus Wagner, played throughout Brazil in 2006 under the moniker Tributo ao Sarcófago
 (Tribute to Sarcófago). In 2009, rumors surfaced that the original I.N.R.I. line-up were reuniting for a small, high-profile tour, but proved to be false.
 A reissue of their back catalogue is in the works, a joint effort between Cogumelo Records and American label Greydaze
In 2006 Gerald Minelli, Manoel Henriques and Fábio Jhasko (joined by other guest musicians) started performing some live concerts as a Sarcófago tribute band. However, those concerts were NEVER intended to be considered a Sarcófago re-union nor have any of the musicians involved claimed it to be so.
D.D. Crazy and Butcher are brothers.

Assassin - Interstellar Experience (1988)

No sound truly defines Thrash Metal more than Assassin. A hybrid of Speed Thrash Metal and Hardcore splashed with a sense of humor, it grabs you by the throat and kicks your ass. Although a band photo predates the official band formation, Assassin was officially formed in 1984 by original lineup, Robert Gonnella (vocals), Dinko Vekic (lead guitar), Scholli (rhythm guitar), Lulle (bass) and Psycho (drums). Dubbed the Holy Terror era, their first demo sold approximately 500 copies; a great feat considering there was no internet music sharing. A short time later, the The Saga Of Nemesis demo was released in 1986 and Assassin was signed to SPV. The Upcoming Terror album was released and sold approximately 15,000 copies. After some time off, the band regrouped with new members Michael Hoffmann (guitar) and Frank Nellen (drums). They released their second album, Interstellar Experience in 1988 and quickly rose through the ranks as one of Germanys top 5 thrash bands. Supporting Death Angel on their first official tour in 1988, nearly all shows were sold out. While working on their third album, all their equipment was stolen and Assassin, having no funds to reinvest in equipment, lost their will to continue and shortly broke up thereafter. Fast forward to 2002! After numerous chants of Go, Fight, Kill from the worldwide Thrash Metal community, the band regroups and the official Assassin reunion is announced. This new lineup was Robert (vocals), Dinko (lead guitar), Scholli (rhythm guitar), Achim (bass) and Atomic Steiff (drums). A new 5 track demo was recorded and played live at Wacken 2003 to the positive reviews of many critics. Its incredible how quick the underground spreads the information, explains Rudy Schmitz, Assassin's manager. Suddenly, radio stations are playing Assassin again in their rotations and the rabid fans want more and they want Assassin live. Shows are booked and appetites are fed. ''We made some shows and it was like coming hom'', says singer Robert Gonnella. With Dinko gone most of 2005, it was decided that another guitarist would step in to fill the void and also support Dinko. Back from a 6 year long extended trip to Brazil, Michael, formerly on Sodom..s Better Off Dead and an Assassin veteran, having recorded on Interstellar Experience, was ready to jump in as a third guitarist. Atomic and Dinko left the band and Frank once again was back on skins. In early 2005 their 3rd album The Club was released, self-produced and self-released. In 2009, the drummer Frank Nellen left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by the Wicked Kemao drummer Björn Sondermann. At the same time the problem of the occupation on bass was dissolved with the joining of Joachim Kremer. In spring 2010, Assassin played some shows in Asia where the concerts in Japan were professionally recorded with the plan to release a DVD. In autumn 2010 the band signed a record deal with the German label SPV and recorded their new album with producer Harris Johns...
