ABOMINATOR "Barbarian War Worship" CD

Australia has long been a breeding ground for some of the most violent and chaotic varieties of black/death metal to have ever surfaced from the underground. Although it is almost certainly best known as the birthplace of the incomparable Sadistik Exekution, the Island Continent also later spawned the likes of bands such as Corpse Molestation, Bestial Warlust, Destroyer 666, and Abominator, all of whom began to thrive in the early to mid-1990s and espoused a distinctly bloodthirsty and uniquely Australian brand of extreme metal. Abominator’s early recordings capture the ferocity of this movement as well as – if not better than – any other from that place and period. Their first demo, “Barbarian War Worship,” was released in 1995, three short years after Corpse Molestation’s seminal “Descension of a Darker Deity” demo. Another two years later, Abominator released their second demo, “The Conqueror Possessed.” Anchored by the viciously precise drumming of Chris Volcano (Destroyer 666, Destruktor, Denouncement Pyre, Ignivomous) and fueled by the riffs of guitarist Andrew Undertaker (Cemetery Urn), these demos exemplify the precise and violent, but still uncivilized attack perfectly foreshadowed by the title of the first demo.
