GENRE: Death Metal
COUNTRY: Finland
OPINION: This is the bands first demo from 1989 and it’s an amazing piece of Death/Thrash from the late 80’s. Not a single tone feels pointless, it is pure bulldozing from start to finish. I play the sh*t out of my tape or on YouTube when I’m outdoors. If I would mention something negative about it then maybe that the vocals are a bit low in the mix, but who cares when the rest is so brilliant.
YEAR: 1989
STAND-OUT TRACK(S): All of them, from start to finish! If I have to chose, then "Acrimonious Elysium"

Finnish death / thrash metal band formed in Joensuu at the beginning of 1988 by Teemu Hannonen, Juha Tykkyläinen and Lasse Pyykkö.
The band split up in 1992. Its members got together again in 1995 just to record a few songs for fun (called "Promo 1995") and then go separate ways again.
Around 2005-2006 Lasse started composing new material and two demos, "Totems Within" (2006) and "Lava Poetry" (2007), were released under the moniker Phlegethon. The band is currently on hold.
In Greek mythology, the river Phlegethon ("flaming") was one of the five rivers in the infernal regions of the underworld, along with the rivers Styx, Lethe, Cocytus, and Acheron.
