BESTIAL WARLUST - Vengeance War ‘till Death Cassette (1994/2017)

Before Portal made Australian extreme metal internationally weird, before Portal made Australian extreme metal internationally weird, Melbourne was already doing something deeply wrong in the best possible way. Bestial Warlust were part of that early 90s Australian black/death war metal surge that also gave us Abominator and Gospel of the Horns, a scene that treated subtlety as a personal insult.

Vengeance War 'Till Death is the 1994 debut, and it sounds exactly like that: violent, chaotic, blasphemous, and recorded like the band wanted the tape to smell like smoke. Hell's Headbangers pressed this on red shell cassette in 2017 for people who prefer their Australian black/death metal in a format with the right amount of hiss. This is a genre artifact from a era when the Melbourne underground was producing some of the most unhinged extreme metal on the planet.

Format: cassette, red shell case. Full-length album. Originally released 1994, this pressing 2017 via Hell's Headbangers. Australian artist.

Fans of: Abominator, Proclamation, Archgoat, Revenge, Gospel of the Horns.
