Carpe Noctem - Days of Dark Winter (Demo 1998) +(2001 Re-Release Bonus track)

Carpe Noctem was a German black metal band formed in 1997. They released a demo and an albumbefore, for all intents and purposes, becoming defunct. While this is nothing special, I really enjoyed this demo quite a lot despite being nothing terribly new. It is raw, effectively played, black metal plain and simple. I have both the original release and later re-released version with a live bonus track so I added that to the post here.The bassist on both of their recordings left in 2003 shortly after the album was released. A few years later he met an interesting demise which can be read about on the metal archives page.

Lethal Prayer - Evil Filth (Demo 1994)

Back up and running... sort of. Had some problems with my archives that are now sorted out and things can return to as normal as they will get.

To start it off we have Lethal Prayer. Formed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1986, Lethal Prayer play no frills old school blasphemous death metal. A few years back I was involved in trading material with Belial, the vocalist/guitarist. He gave me a copy of this tape when he passed through town while playing with Incantation (vocals/guitar) on a tour sometime in 2002. It has been a few years since we last spoke and at that time the project was on hold as he was in the process of relocating to Florida. I'm sure he has restarted it by now, but I have yet to hear anything new, which is a shame.
