release notes:
Long a paragon of that particular brand of gnarly black/death for which
Australia first made its name in extreme metal circles, DESTRUKTOR
released their debut EP, Brutal Desecration, some five years after
forming. Nevertheless, its release in 2002 - as a 7" on the late/great
Decius label - signified and solidified a sea change in the underground:
while so many were still fixated on running-on-fumes Scandinavian tropes,
there were a handful of ruffians & outlaws Down Under doing the Devil's
work, drawing equal inspiration from Blasphemy, old Teutonic thrash, and
early South American madness - and, of course, homeland hooligans Bestial
Warlust. Thus is Brutal Desecration a perfect, poignant snapshot of a
moment in time both for band and subgenre - ripping, roiling, muscular,
malevolent, neither strictly black nor death nor thrash - featuring
bestial session drums from ABOMINATOR / CEMETERY URN's Chris Volcano. And
while DESTRUKTOR would start to streamline with 2004's Nuclear Storm EP
for a then-young HELLS HEADBANGERS, Brutal Desecration accomplished its
title and then some, serving as a rough & raw foundation for Glenn
Destruktor and crew to later perfect their barbaric onslaught.
Out of print for over 20 years, Brutal Desecration at LONG last sees a
timely reissue, pressed on a one-side 12" with a silkscreened B-side.
Featuring a bonus track from the same session, which would not fit onto
the original 7", you could argue that this is the definitive version of
the EP.
