Description
Polish pressed music cassette. Clear cassette without print. The Baron release lacks two tracks, among them the title track
Poland is probably the country that had the most record labels in the world that only released cassettes. But even though there were lots of labels the market was still small as they only printed these for their own market inside of Poland. And a label in one town maybe lacked the distribution for another town and so on. A Warzaw or Krakow label might print more copies of a tape then labels from a smaller town. So even if there are thousands of releases you will notice how rare some are if you start to try to list the catalog number of one particular label. Some cassettes just rarely shows up. Baron is a Polish label that started at the beginning of 1990 as Baron Music mainly producing cassettes. The labels first logo was a green smiling dragon face with blond hair. Then in 1991 they changed the logo to a trotting horse. The label then progressed into a more legal incarnation and changed name to Baron Records in 1992. The label was based in the town of Piekary Slaskie, near Katowice, in the southern part of Poland. Around 525 tapes was released before they changed name to Baron Records
Holy Terror’s second release continued their customary speed/thrash metal style with a strong sense of melody and influences from conventional metal. This time the production is heavier and somewhat more clear whereas the music is generally slightly faster but still remarkably melodic. In the company of thrashier pieces, The Immortal Wasteland really jumps out as the song could be directly from some Iron Maiden album with its galloping guitars and traditional melodies. Again, the band sound pretty much unlike most other thrash metal acts out there at that time. Mind Wars has a certain old fashioned feel which is strangely captivating at the same time. Holy Terror were probably not everyone’s cup of tea, but they sure were a lot more original than many others in the genre
