Death SS: The Cursed Singles 12″

Description

ng through the air to land on an unsuspecting patron. This sort of mischief became the rule rather than the exception at future Death SS shows, earning the band a very deserved level of notoriety. The recordings that took place during this era occurred in the bands rehearsal room or at live shows. Two of these, Terror and Murder Angels, were released on a demo cassette entitled The Horned God of the Witches, which is said to be limited to two copies. This was succeeded by Demo II, which contained rehearsal recordings of Horrible Eyes, Cursed Mama, and Kings of Evil, along with a live recording of Zombie. The current compilation contains all of these tracks except Kings of Evil, and includes six additional rehearsal and live recordings from the same period of 1977-1984. The First Seal of Death SS existence came to an end following an unfortunate series of events that included Sylvesters contraction of a rare form of mononucleosis from drinking animals blood and an accident in which Paul Chain lost sight in one eye. Sylvester ended up leaving for Florence, seeking a new beginning in a different location, and Paul Chain found a new vocalist in Sanctis Ghoram to continue Death SS in Sylvesters absence. However, the creative force that defined this era has since manifested itself in many forms and among many different actors in the ensuing years and decades, as the bands influence has infiltrated many domains of the musical world. Thus the story of Death SS is one that promises to live undead indefinitely.
