DESCRIPTION
With the greatest of personal pleasure and pride, Nuclear War Now! announces its re-issue of the complete, original Demo '87 in conjunction with a first-time release of a 1988 rehearsal recording that exemplifies Goatlord's majestic devolution. The “Reh. '88” recording, which until this point was unavailable to the public, was unearthed and graciously offered by Don of the Dead (Nunslaughter), one of the earliest and most fervent worshipers of this black doom cult. “Reh. '88” is heretofore likely to be considered the most primitive document in the band's archive. On this recording, Ace Still's vocals are particularly possessed, as if they are being dry-heaved forth from the partially decayed larynx of an undead being. Additionally, this recording offers a rare and intriguing window into the rehearsal room and perhaps provides more concrete evidence of the band's known penchant for mind-altering chemicals, as demonstrated by the awkwardly confused reference to “Twilight Rem” by an unidentified band member just prior to the six-minute mark of “Distorted Birth.” Finally, this release features the original cover artwork from Demo '87 and as a bonus includes alternate versions of “Chicken Dance” and “Voodoo Mass,” taken from the recording session of Reflections of the Solstice, also to be re-released by NWN!
