Sargeist - Tyranny Returns - TAPE

Sargeist has always had an interesting atmosphere, and it's rather hard to describe. Imagine if Mütiilation's predilections for drugs, suicide, and Satan were celebrated instead of mourned and you have a good idea.
Sargeist's music is always vaguely disgusting and filthy yet resolutely proud of its own decay-hedonistic and excessive, like Caligula-era Rome. Well, if you want filth-caked black metal, it's hard to find a better example in the Sargeist catalog than this demo. Sargeist has never sounded so sleazy as on tracks like 'Anti-Human Black Metal Wrath', where the strains of 'Deathcrush'-era Mayhem come home to roost in a short, violently rhythmic track. The production only aids the oily, viscous feeling of these songs, with the murky guitars and drums moving like a sea of raw sewage under the perpetually hissing and howling vocals. It's definitely a good example of rawness used to aid music rather than detract from it.

Re-issue properly with a complete updated layout released with leading band member Shatraug himself as supervisor.
