All praise Hellhammer and Celtic Frost as Excruciation certainly worship at their feet and do a pretty good job of it too. This release was put out on CD and Tape only in the USA on the Turbo U.S.A. label. Excruciation still have all FIVE of their earlier demo tapes available on their BandCamp page.

This release is a "re-mastered in 1991 compilation" of parts of the three preceding Demo Tapes "Prophecy Of Immortality", "Abyss Of Time" and " Act Of Despair" with a live track thrown on the end for good measure.

The tape is highly recommended for Celtic Frost fans. Production sound overall is very good, but side B is better than side A... to my ears at least side A recording levels is a little too high, causing some distortion sounds on the cymbals, which doesn't seem to be the case of side B.

I'm guessing this hasn't been re-released or noted as available on the bands BandCamp page as it's their only release that is on the Turbo USA label... But 1 of the 4 songs from the Act Of Despair demo are re-mastered here, 5 out of 9 songs from the Prophecy Of Immortality demo too, as well as all 4 tracks from the Abyss Of Time demo, + of course the 'new' live version of Wardance (studio version is on the Act Of Despair demo).

And so I'll leave it up to the moderators to determine if this compilation release is in violation of the board rules or not.

A rip from the original tape from the tygerhead collection.
