I don't believe so..I'll go look cheers! Np. Heathen Deity - Nottingham Infernal

Saor - 'Aura' I've loved 'Guardians' to death, but the album before it, 'Aura', is such a beautiful work of art as well. The drummer is Austin Lunn the multi-instrumentalist from Panopticon, which amazed me.

Mortician- "Mortal Massacre" Two things that will always stay with me, regarding this EP: 1) 12 and 1/2 minutes. I've had times taking a number 2 that were longer than that, and yet they established the perfect brutal death metal sound in that short time. 2) 1991. It is ridiculous how heavy this is for it's time. The only bands who were around at the time that I'd put on this scale of utter crushing aural assault are Blasphemy and Sarcófago, and of course Sarcófago was already done with the ultra heavy stuff.

Great insight, there. I also think "From Wisdom to Hate" could have used some more of that chaotic vibe which characterized much of "Obscura". NP: Taake- "Nattestid... "

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzHwtnvhdag Iron Cross from Pensacola, Florida. They play metal on the dark side of NWOBHM/speed metal only rawer. They had their classic self titled album in 1986 which I absolutely worship. They have several distinct singers in the band which lead to a lot of variation from clean singing to screams and rasps. Good catchy guitar work throughout. All those classic reissue labels have dropped the ball on this one. Doomed to obscurity for coming out too late, being 1 out of 6 bands named Iron Cross and being from Florida. A damned shame, this is top tier cult metal. I highly recommend this forgotten classic. You'll either love it or hate it.
