ASPHYX - Crush The Cenotaph CD

Soulburn was formed in 1996 by Bob Bagchus and Eric Daniels after the demise of Apshyx in 1996 (after the ‘God Cries’ album). They were joined by Wannes Gubbels on bass and vocals (Pentacle). In 1996 Soulburn recorded their debut demo. The 4 track demo led to a record deal with Apshyx home label Century Media. SOULBURN released their debut album ‘Feeding on Angles’ in 1998. SOULBURN were put to rest when Asphyx returned with “On The Wings Of Inferno” (2000) with the same line-up. SOULBURN was dead, buried, but not forgotten... and was reformed in 2013. Up till now Soulburn released 3 full lenghts abums and two ep’s. The demo 1996 is remastered by Tom Palms (Phlebotomized). Cover art by Juanjo Castellano (Gates of Isthar, Ribspreader), logo design by Christophe ‘Lord of the Logos’ Szpajdel (Borknagar, Dimmu Borgir).

COMECON was formed by former Omnitron / The Krixhjälters guitar players Pelle Strom and Rasmus Ekman. COMECON’s debut album ‘Megatrends in Brutality’ features ENTOMBED’s vocalist L.G. Petrov (also ex Nihilist, Firespawn). Petrov joined Comecon when he was forced to leave Entombed after their milestone album ‘Left Hand Path’ (and later rejoined and still sings in Entombed A.D.). The Comecon debut album was just like Entombed’s debut album recorded at Sunlight Studios and produced by Tomas Skogsberg (Tiamat, Entombed, Dismember) in 1991.  The album has eleven old school Swedish death metal tracks, for fans of early Entombed, Grave and Dismember.

‘Rotten mindcrushing death metal from the underground, most important and influential bands. A brutal compilation that sickens your soul’. That was the original promotional line for this compilation album in 1991. It’s still valid to this very day. ALL bands are up till now active, recording new albums and performing worldwide. And all with their own serious fanbase. This cd re-release features Unleashed, Asphyx, Tiamat, Morgoth, Grave & Loudblast. All with rare or special tracks from 1990 – 1991, 15 in total. The 12 page booklet contains interviews with all bands, done by Pim Blankenstein (Sinister, Bodyfarm, Infernal Majesty). Complete booklet and original artwork remake by ACW (Tiamat, Ceremonial Oath).
