Black vinyl with insert. Limited 400 copies

Another one of those old releases from metal’s deep dark vaults that has gone under the radar of most metal fans. Erotikill being a late-’80s Los Angeles metal band who released their album Virgin Speed back in 1990, and the band broke up shortly after. As far as the succeeding in the industry was concerned, the band was doing everything right. Not only did they pound the pavement, they also had the glossy promo photos, 4 songs recorded by Joe Floyd and full color advertisements in all the best metal magazines. But something just never clicked for the group with record labels. Erotikill’s debut was originally titled Seek The Virgin, but changed to Virgin Speed by the time the 8-song cassette was released in 1990. The band had finally delivered their unique brand of speed metal to the masses, albeit, independently. Unfortunately, the metal scene at that time was littered with horror stories of mismanagement, and Erotkill found themselves at the end of a losing deal as well. While out on tour supporting the release of Virgin Speed, the group found out that tour support was no longer coming, and that their management had walked with all of their money. It was a death blow very few bands survive, including Erotikill. This vinyl reissue contains the original 8 tracks from the Virgin Speed cassette (newly mastered from original digital sources), and as a bonus we have included an audio interview conducted with the band back in 1990. Its easy to compare them to Nasty Savage as the band always existed in this middle ground between thrash, traditional metal and early US power metal. The bonus track, “1990 Band Interview” is a hysterically rambunctious and mainly useless and totally fun listen, if you enjoy hearing a bunch of enthusiastic young rockers continually laughing and talking over each other, which I very much do.
