Darkness

Death Squad, 1987 Bocholt Live Squad, 1987/rel. 2005 Defenders Of Justice, 1988 Conclusion And Revival, 1989 Back to some classic 80s German Thrash Metal! In the league of Vectom or Exumer, Darkness was another heir of the early Kreator | Destruction dynasty. I can almost hear the 'Mad Butcher' riff in a couple of songs. Not as essential as other equally obscure but killer German bands like the awesome Backwater or the flabbergasting Protector, but still good solid stuff with a more melodic direction on the 3rd album, thrash 'til Aperitif!
