Description

Very rare original Finnish Poko records press with printed innersleeve

Founded in August 1987, this Tampere-based foursome thrashed with a light-hearted attitude, writing songs about gnomes, naughty skateboarding grannies, and meaningful relationships with inflatable love dolls. Their second album Selling The Salvation provided more of the same unsurprising thrash metal as their debut release, with no notable touches of originality. Despite the production being very decent, the band continued to have something of a homespun and even clunky sound especially in the vocal department. Most songs are energetic enough but far from groundbreaking, although Naughty Granny does deserve an honorary mention for its particularly amusing lyrics. In the end Selling The Salvation is just another typical minor thrash metal album from the time period. Prestige disbanded after their third full-length and guitarist Jan “Örkki” Yrlund went on to continental goth/black metal fame playing with Lacrimosa and Ancient Rites. Vocalist/bass player Aku Kytölä has played in a Bad Religion cover band Paha Uskonto and Kill Me Gently. These two above mentioned distinguished gentlemen also took part in Heppihirviö, a punk rock project.
