Malevolent Creation - 1990
Imagine a band that combines the sound of Sadus and Entombed! Get the idea? Needless to say, Malevolent Creation are the gods of Death. Comprised of: Phil Fasciana (guitar), Jon Rubin (guitar), Brett Hoffman (vocals), Mark Simpson (drums), Mark Van Erp (bass); they are a major force. This tape only has three songs: “Remnants of Withered Decay,” “Decadence Within” and “Impaled Existence.” But any one of the three would be worth the price of the tape by itself. I found the first song to slightly edge out the other two, but only just barely. It’s easy to see why Roadrunner signed these guys. I was also impressed when I got a copy of this after they were signed. That shows how dedicated they are. And what kind of people. I personally know of other bands that would have said to wait for their debut LP. You had better get a copy of this while there are still some left!
{Phil has weathered line-up changes galore, and never allowed his band to release a less-than-excellent album. And now, original singer Brett Hoffman has returned after an extended absence on their latest release, The Fine Art of Murder.}
