Progressive Thrash Metal band from Klatovy, Czech Republic. They formed in 1987, and released 3 demo tapes during 1990-1991. In 1992 they released their debut album, this one ”Prosincová Noc Blíže Neurčeného Roku”. The title translates to something like ”A December Night Closer to an Unspecified Year”. The album was recorded and mixed in May 1992 in Propast Studio and released later the same year.
Asmodeus released the album - contrary to the original intention - only on CD and MC since their label Monitor ended the vinyl format in 1992. Not until 2010 they finally got a vinyl release on the small independent label Magick Disk Musick. Up until then the band's only vinyl releases for 18 long years was the cult sampler Ultrametal with serial number II, released in 1992, where the band had two songs from their then freshly recorded debut among a select group consisting of such names as Krabathor, Tortura, Chirurgia, Dark and Dai.
OPINION: As many of you know I’m a sucker for Thrash and Death from the early 1990’s from Czech Republic, and this is one of my favorites. Highly recommended if you like Progressive/Technical Thrash Metal. This album might have been perfect if they had skipped the two last tracks, 'Veselé Vánoce’ that is a cover of a song called 'Christmas are Coming’ and 'Rolničky’ that is a cover of 'Jinglebells'.
