Asphyx - Embrace The Death (1996) [2009 Remastered]

ASPHYX. The cult around this band is remarkable. Being disbanded two times, changed name and not to mention having several line-up changes, but… All falls back on its place like it did twenty years ago, sticking to their guns and as always with much class. The spell just can’t be broken. “Embrace The Death” was recorded in 1990 and supposed to be the first full-length. Well, things changed and in 1996 it was finally released by Century Media featuring the “Mutilating Process” EP. This 2009 edition offers a two disc version. Disc one covers the original “Embrace The Death” album. Disc two contains the “Mutilating Process” 7″, the “Enter The Domain” demo and the killer “Crush The Cenotaph” demo! On top of that you get 4 rehearsal tracks (1989-1990) including a VENOM cover and a rough mix version of the “Mutilating Process” EP.
