Description

Swedish pressed music cassette. Red cassette with white text. Limited 100 copies

Onyx was a short-lived but highly influential Swedish heavy metal band active in the early 80’s. Onyx had a sound that remains quite unique still to this day, with short but extremely well-written songs, and they were also one of the first metal bands in Sweden to pen lyrics in their native tongue. This album contains the classic single from 1982 as well as four songs from the 1983 demo. The original Onyx single is today a highly sought after collector’s item. The 1983 demo tape is even harder to find as not many were made. After said demo failed to attract the attention of any record label, the band unfortunately faded into obscurity and never recorded any more material. This is the perfect combination of raw Swedish steel with NWOBHM that was prevalent at the time.
