"Don't expect to hear anything like Dechristianize. This release is an Vital Remains demo compilation.

The Black Mass (1991) 7"

Excruciating Pain (demo) (1990)

Reduced to Ashes (demo) (1989)



Yes it's worth the price. Sounds like a cross between Blasphemy and Sepultura(Morbid Visions). Some great riffs on these demos. Best songs are "Of Pure Unholyness", "Human Sacrifice", "Resurrected", "Excrutiating Pain"."

Demonic demos !

"This is for everybody, not just the die-hards. The music on this from the opening 1991 is accessible as V.R. gets and the earlier stuff wont scare anybody away either. A good compilation of a great act's humble beginnings. Of course they have grown into a monstrous entity, but you can still hear a bunch of musicians oozing creativity. With all the line-up changes people should enjoy every variation of the V.R. This music and the vision is way too good to nit-pick and give it 1 star, how dare you !!I gave 4 stars because the last section from '89/'88 does run out of steam. You got to love 1991 sessions.You need this if you have the others, worth a listen for all metalheads.."
