ARTIST: Acheron
TITLE: Rites Of The Black Mass
STYLE: Blackened Death Metal
FORMAT: CD
LABEL: Misanthropic Spirit Records
Acheron's debut, "Rites of the Black Mass" (originally released in 1992) is almost universally considered the magnum opus of the ACHERON discography, with the band's limited (yet dedicated!) fanbase often hailing it as a minor classic of the Florida old school death scene, and perhaps an early antecedent of the "blackened death metal" sub-genre. Once within the depths of "RITES OF THE BLACK MASS" you may find a kindred spirit to "Slowly We Rot", "Severed Survival", "Scream Bloody Gore", "The Rack", and the band MASTER spiced up as if it were the soundtrack to some long lost Hammer Horror flick! Don't expect some kind of ultra-pretentious, nihilistic, shit here... this is just good head bangin' music... hard, fast, & heavy! With each song intro by Peter Gilmore (Church Of Satan).
Tracks 21-23 are taken from the 2008 "Satanic Supremacy" Cassette which was limited to only 150 copies!
