Brandon Corsair Loved this one for years, real pleasure to finally have it on a real physical format! Glad they let me do a reissue. Cool black/death/thrash stuff that's as primordial as it is charming; catchy ancient evil that's equal parts old heavy metal and early extreme metal, falling very nicely into the same little niche as Mortuary Drape or Bulldozer in my listening without sounding really like either of them. Favorite track: Witch.

about

CD: Nameless Grave Records
LP: Nuclear War Now! Productions

Vinyl and CD pre-sales coming soon!

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of their sole demo, Awake in Darkness, Nameless Grave Records are proud to present Doomsayer's legacy on compact disc for the very first time! This burning triumph- described as "Pestilential Death Metal" by the band back in the early '90s when they were establishing themselves in the Italian extreme metal scene- combines all of the power of their varied influences, giving both a perfect snapshot of the heavy metal and occult tinged nascent scene in their country as well as an image of a power, creative band that managed to create a single work that still resonates now decades later.

Though Doomsayer fits squarely in the saga of other cult Italian bands, it has plenty of its own voice to offer and fans of early extreme metal will be pleasantly surprised at the strength of this long-hidden obscurity. For fans of Mortuary Drape, Varathron, Bulldozer, and Mercyful Fate.
