Outside of Celtic Frost and Coroner, the average metal head in the ‘80s probably couldn’t name a heavy metal band from Switzerland to save their lives. But for underground fiends the world over, Poltergeist was always a thrash group that deserved more attention that they got their first time around the block. Forming in 1987, Poltergeist signed with then upstart label Century Media Records after releasing two impressive demos. Their partnership led to the release of two obscure, but revered, thrash albums: 1989’s Depression and 1991’s Behind My Mask. As the international metal scene’s tastes shifted in the early ‘90s, Century Media pressured Poltergeist to change their style up to fit into the death metal realm. Instead of cowering to their label’s demands, the band remained focused and crafted what would become their finest moment. Produced by guitarist V.O. Pulver and mixed at the famed Morrisound Studios by Jim Morris (Megadeth, Morbid Angel), 1993’s Nothing Lasts Forever found Poltergeist delivering blasts of Euro-flavoured thrash of the highest order. Despite the artistic triumph the album became, the band broke up in 1994 after one last tour with fellow countrymen Coroner. Originally only released on cd so now 15 years later we can finally enjoy this on vinyl and its great to see that this missed album finally gets the attention it truly deserves.
