█ In an era in which even the most obscure demos are █
█ readily available for electronic acquisition █
█ within minutes, the likelihood of finding untapped █
█ reservoirs of brutality in underground metal is █
█ almost unheard of. Digging beneath the rubble of █
█ Ross Bay, NWN! and RBC has recently unearthed such █
█ a lost stream of malevolence. The story of █
█ ANTICHRIST begins with the merging of The █
█ Festering Arsonist on guitars and The Inciter of █
█ Armageddon on drums. At the age of just 15, these █
█ hooded demons provoked the retribution of Christ █
█ in the name of unholy dominion. Influenced by the █
█ Death Metal, Speed Metal, and Grindcore of the █
█ late 1980Æs, they recorded a demo under the name █
█ Armageddon. In the early 1990Æs an additional █
█ guitarist by the name of Rotting Corpse was █
█ indoctrinated into this cult, and shortly █
█ thereafter vocalist Goat Fucker and bassist The █
█ Unknown One were likewise initiated. In addition █
█ to their exposure to the well known international █
█ bands of that time period, these stalkers of the █
█ Ross Bay burial grounds were also uniquely █
█ influenced by local bands such as Procreation, █
█ Witches Hammer, Fatal Hatred, Caustic Thought, █
█ and, of course, Blasphemy. Indeed, it is █
█ ANTICHRISTÆs connection with Blasphemy that is █
█ most apparent in their sound. While ANTICHRISTÆs █
█ focused initially on creating disturbing and dark █
█ Death Metal, they began to gravitate toward the █
█ pure desecration of Black Metal. This was, to a █
█ large degree, due to ANTICHRIST sharing a █
█ rehearsal space with Blasphemy. In fact, it was █
█ Nocturnal Grave Desecrator and Black Winds who █
█ invoked the name ANTICHRIST for the band. (The █
█ Festering Arsonist even accompanied Blasphemy on █
█ their Fuck Christ tour in 1993.) ANTICHRIST never █
█ sought widespread attention for their demonic █
█ arts, preferring, instead, to remain in the cold █
█ catacombs of Ross Bay. Over the next four years, █
█ ANTICHRIST played only less than ten shows and █
█ entered the studio just once. In 1994, ANTICHRIST █
█ summoned its first and only recording. Consisting █
█ of 11 tracks of blasphemic annihilation, the █
█ "Sacrament of Blood" session epitomizes the █
█ horrific and unholy nature of the Ross Bay cult. █
█ Chaotic and impure and driven by uncontrollable █
█ bestial voices, ANTICHRIST unleashed some of the █
█ vilest and Black Metal North America has produced. █
█ Until 2011, however, few souls have had the █
█ extreme misfortune of being subjected to this █
█ depraved onslaught because the members of █
█ ANTICHRIST went their separate ways shortly after █
█ these tracks were committed to DAT. Years later, █
█ with the support of BlasphemyÆs Deathlord, Goat █
█ Fucker and Rotting Corpse exhumed the original DAT █
█ tapes and prepared them for their first official █
█ release. █
