Description

Picture disc in die-cut cover with insert. Persecution Mania version. Limited 250 copies

As a tribute to the bassist of Hellish Crossfire: Sick, who died in 2022, the band made two tribtues concerts with bands such as Old, Witching Hour, Fatal Embrace and Desaster. To continue the tribute to Sick the bands first demo, Unholy Tyranny (The Early Recordings), was released as picture disc in December of 2023 (in two different version; Persecution Mania and Pleasures To Kill (limited to 250 copies/each). Hellish Crossfire has always been more than just a band. Think of them as a gathering of like-minded maniacs, driven by their endless passion for 80’s metal and bands like Kkreator, Venom, Bathory etc. Those Germans may have not been very prolific over the years but every single release of theirs, especially their two, pedal-to-the-max albums from 2006 and 2010, all had that special spark, the blazing fire burning inside only true dedicated warriors could provide. A true band of brothers, united ‘til the very end, even when one of them alas falls by the wayside. The album not only features the Unholy Tyranny demo but also material from a rehearsal the band did in 2005 where they amongst others perform a raging cover of the Kat classic Metal And Hell. Needless to say those versions are raw-as-fuck and not for the faint of heart but for the true metal fans
