2017 re-issue with 4 bonus track and a bonus dvd

Leprosy was a killer four piece hailing from Helsingborg / Sweden. Despite delivering a quite convincing brand of Thrash / Death Metal they unfortunately never got signed and weren’t able to present their killer tunes to a wider audience. Being close to be put on Earache’s roster the band failed to get a deal. It seemed that the responsible one at the headquarters of this famous label was deaf when listening to the stuff or whatever. Anyway now you have the chance again to delve into this excellent compilation which includes all stuff the band recorded back then. The disc features the “Death To The World” demo from 1988 which includes four neckbreaking tunes and two intros. The songs have a more Thrash Metal approach than their later material. Sometimes Leprosy’s stuff reminds me of an aggressive, fast and violent alloy of Protector, Sepultura, Death and Pestilence. The 1990 demo “Full Of Hate” saw the band craving for a more complex and matured brand of Death / Thrash. The Death Metal part in their sound was unmistakable increased and much more dominant than before. Although the band offered more sophisticated material the horde didn’t lose any single piece of their brutality. If you have a listen to stuff like ‘The Saviour’ or ‘Evironment’ you really can’t understand why they didn’t make it bigger. They unfortunately shared the same fate than many other great bands before and history was unfair to our Swedish lads here as well. The seven songs (incl. two intros or instrumentals) remain as a true convincing testament.
