Desolation

Empire Of The Dead

Formed In 1988, DESOLATION created from Antony (vocals), Mike (Bass), Nick (Guitar) and Evangelos on Drums, playing cover songs from 80's thrash metal bands, and playing live music to local Pubs around their hometown Salamis, Athens, Greece The 4 band's members lasted one year...and vocalist Antony and Drummer Evangelos while they were friends with guitarist Sakis Tolis from Athens based innovative black metal band Rotting Christ, started to rehearse from time to time. The result were 3 songs recorded in 1989 at MINI FARM , the same studio where the mighty "Passage to Arcturo" of Rotting Christ is also recorded . The 3-song tape recorded with the intention of releasing it as a split LP with Masacre on Unisound Records. The three tracks ended up on a German compilation CD, "Weird Tales of Madness", instead. It's released by an underground record label, Black Death Records, among other bands, Funebre, Tormentor, Necrophile popular at that time. After these recordings, Sakis Tolis well known as *Necromayhem* left the project to concetrate 100% to Rotting Christ and DESOLATION disbanded. Now, Sleaszy Rider re-release this hidden metal gem, as a special 30-years anniversary edition mini-cd, with the tracks as they were, to keep the magic of the recordings, but bring it to life with an amazing packaging and artwork designed by Greek fine artist John Pavlidis!
