Hellhammer

Hellhammer demo anthology 'Demon Entrails' details

Long dead Swiss black metal band Hellhammer's demo anthology 'Demon Entrails' will be available February 18th in Europe and on February 26th in the U.S. It will be available as an opulent oversized double CD media-book package and as a limited edition gatefold triple vinyl album. Both versions will feature a lavish booklet and a poster. These versions will be available throughout all European retail outlets. However, the only place to buy them in North America will be directly through www.cmdistro.com. North American retail outlets will only be able to carry the bare-bones, lower-priced CD version.

'Demon Entrails' has been specially re-mastered from copies of the original master tapes under the supervision of Tom Gabriel Fischer, and the demos now represent Hellhammer exactly as the band sounded when recording these songs in June and December of 1983. Drawing from a wealth of previously unknown historical liner-notes, material and artwork, as well as plenty of unreleased Hellhammer photos from 1982 to 1984, 'Demon Entrails' features all lyrics and essays detailing the individual demo recording sessions.
