DESEKRATOR Metal For Demons (1998) CD

Norway in 1998 meant black metal to most people, which meant bands like Desekrator, playing filthy thrash with a debt to Venom and zero interest in corpse paint, got overlooked in their own backyard. Their loss.

Metal For Demons sits in that scuzzy zone where first-wave black metal, early Destruction-style thrash, and pure heavy metal spite collide. It's aggressive without being polished, raw without being lo-fi for its own sake, and it absolutely sounds like something that should have a hand-drawn logo on the cover. The kind of record that gets passed around on recommendations between people who take this stuff seriously. If you're building a collection that goes beyond the obvious, this is the kind of gap-filler that ends up becoming a favourite.
