LP + 7"EP transparent silver splatter vinyl reissue with poster of the 1987 debut EP by this legendary German Death/ Thrash Metal band. Released one year before the classic debut album "Golem", these recordings capture PROTECTOR at its most primitive and savage stage, later becoming an essential reference point in late-'80s European extreme Metal. The included 7"EP features the 2 tracks from the band's 1986 demo "Protector of Death".
Its sound combines the violence of savage Teutonic Thrash with strong proto-Death Metal elements, driven by razor-sharp riffing, frantic rhythms, harsh vocals and a dark, chaotic atmosphere. Raw, fast and devastating for its time, this release perfectly captures the ferocity of a band that helped push European underground Metal into increasingly extreme territory.
Recommended for fans of: SODOM, MASSACRA, POSSESSED and MESSIAH.
