Astaroth was formed in Tampa, Florida in November 1991 by Larry Sapp following his departure from Brutality. This CC contains three demos, 20 tracks in total. Personel over the years amongst others: Tony Laureano (Brujeria, Nile) on drums, Larry Sapp (Brutality), Demian Heftel (Brutality, Nocturnus) on guitars, Jim Coker on drums (Nasty Savage, Brutality). Demo 1993 was produced by Greg Marchak who produced Winter´s "Into darkness" album and live production of Savatage/TSO shows and was mixed by Ken Faulkenberry (Acheron, Ulcer, Nocturnus). The 1995´s demo "Song of sorrow" was again produced by Marchak and mastered at famous Morrisound (Death, Cannibal Corpse), and included the talented Thomas Viator, who later went on to join James Murphy´s Disincarnate. 1998 saw the recording of "Burning christians" demo. Unlike the previous demos which had a Swedish tuned-down sound like Carnage and Entombed, "Burning christians" had more a chaotic Deicide/Possessed sound (Morrisound mastering again). After the 1998 demo, Sapp joined Brutality again. Some Astaroth tracks were used for Brutality then. |
