Description

Switzerlands death metal act Excruciation was formed in Zurich in 1984 to smash juvenile frustration and aggression into a hostile world with terms such as Death, Doom and Thrash Metal. Their first demo, The Fourth Apocalyptic Rider, had remarkable airplay in US-underground radio stations and even reached No.1 for several weeks. Their first EP, The Last Judgment, sold over 15,000 copies and reached Switzerland’s Top 100. In 1991 due to various musical and personal differences the band took an indefinite time out before being reunited in 2005. The band released Anno Domini An Anthology Of The Past compilation. The compilation captured material from three demos; Act Of Despair (1990), Prophecy Of Immortality (1988), Abyss Of Time (1989).
