Horde Of Torment - Distorted Recollections: The Demo Anthology [CD]

Las Vegas, NV thrashers THE HORDE OF TORMENT first formed in 1987 under the name of PESTILENCE, before rechristening the band during the years that followed. As THE HORDE OF TORMENT, the group issued three demos between 1989 and 1991, demonstrating a brand of energetic thrash metal that had the songs and the drive to succeed on a larger scale. However, despite all of the attention received from the metal press of their era, THE HORDE OF TORMENT never secured a record deal, relegating their recordings to becoming cult favorites on the tape-trading circuit. Fan demand finally led to a proper Divebomb Records reissue, Distorted Recollections, in 2015. Years in the making, Distorted Recollections compiled THE HORDE OF TORMENT's Product of a Sick Mind and Inherit the Sin demos, the 1987 Infected demo recorded as PESTILENCE, plus additional rare bonus tracks, before eventually selling out. One of the most-requested represses for Divebomb, a new-and-improved edition of Distorted Recollections is now here. In addition to all of the studio recordings presented in 2015, the live and rehearsal tracks have been replaced by a brand-new remix of 1991's Inherit the Sin demo, resulting from a new transfer off the original multi-track reel. The master reel for Product of a Sick Mind was also run, but apparently suffered a severe magnetic event at some point over the last three decades, with only one song (included herein) surviving unscathed. Steven Cobb's cover art has also been updated with a new color scheme throughout the 20-page booklet jam-packed with photos, lyrics, liner notes, and ephemera. For the fans, by the fans!
