"Blood of the Saints" compiles all of the band's late-'90s demos, delivering an unrelenting onslaught of blasphemous death metal. A declaration of total war against god and his legion of followers, this collection channels the ferocity of infernal pioneers like POSSESSED, DEATH, DARK ANGEL, MASSACRE, and CELTIC FROST. Expect blistering blast beats and crushing mid-tempo breaks, all executed in honor of the darkest angel! Considered by many to be the band's finest work, this edition features restored cover artwork and an expanded layout, distinct from the original 1999 CD pressing.
Tracks 1-6 were recorded in Zion, IL, on February 28 and March 1, 1998, on 16 tracks by Scott Creekmore and Tom Brandner, with mixing completed on March 6-7, 1998. Originally released as the Christ Destroyed demo.
