Devastation (Yug.) "The possibility of life's.." LP + CD & Booklet

Black vinyl version, limited to 200 copies. LP + CD + booklet.
Emerging from the ever influential and colorful Yugo 80?s underground, DEVASTATION were one of the first Thrash Metal bands from Yugoslavia (among Evil Blood, Witchcraft, Heller, Bloodbath, Bombarder and few more). Their style was a scorching Speed/Thrash assault, think of early Voivod and Onslaught with HC/Punk influences (as a matter of fact they covered bands like Discharge and S.O.D.). The band recorded two demo tapes before the end of the eighties and appeared on some Balkanian and European fanzines getting an excellent feedback. Later on they changed their name to Devastator, and finally in the nineties into Hatr?ss. With this new name they recorded some studio works that were released as a cassette in 1993. This release highlights their best demo, "The possibility of life's destruction" (1989) here appearing for the first time on vinyl, remastered from the original reels for the best possible sonic impact.. and to make it more complete and interesting we also added a CD including Devastation's 1st demo "The upcoming mayhem" (1987) and the two Hatr?ss demos.
With this new release done in friendly collaboration with ultimate Croatian underground diggers team/label ?Guranje S Litice? and original band members, all the studio material by both bands are being combined on one release for the first time. And there's more.. after few years of research we managed to track down the original 80?s illustrator of several Metal and HC bands from Yugoslavia Amir O. from Croatia who provided a special unreleased artwork made the same year the demo was recorded.. 1989! Most grindcore and underground freaks will remember his epic artworks for the early vinyl releases by Buka and Patareni, from the same era. Finally unleashed this killing Thrash Metal gem is a must for all past and future headbanging collectors! Includes a 12 page booklet with extensive liner notes, photos, zine excerpts and a lot more!!
