         This demo was re-released as ‘Bloody Countess’ LP by Holycaust Records in 1996 with the exception of the intro track, ‘Welcome to Sabbat’. The songs were taken directly off this demo for the LP, no new recordings were made for the LP. The song ‘Splatter’ were later re-rcorded in ’98 for the African Harmageddon 7”.
         The infectious thrash bull-over-dosing of ‘Bring me the Head of Satan’ , NWOBHM string burning ‘Bloody Countess’ & the ultra-intense ‘Panic in the Head’ are my favs on this release.Both tracks have left a dent on my hornbanging head…
