Hello!
Here info!!!
SUDDEN DARKNESS
Since the collectors-scene knows that a unreleased GAMA Records-LP exists and there are only 12 white pressings of the LP made, Sudden Darkness turned into a cult-band. To me it was just my first proper metalband. I joined the band in 1984 when they played a very rough heavyrock. After a while the style turned more into Heavy Metal and ended in thrash - the opposite of most German bands of the 80s.
Nevertheless this band was important for me. My very first recording ever was the Lord Nightmare demo which I do not own anymore (anybody can send it to me??). The next demo contained a rough and simple song called "Satanic Butcher" which the local metalheads called their favorite song which also was on a cassete-compilation of the magazine "Shock Power". When the new thrash bands from the USA released their LPs here in Germany, Sudden Darkness turned into a thrash band - with all the mid-eighties stuff like "mosh" and bermuda shorts. In that period we got offered a deal with GAMA, a now cult-label from Germany. We recorded the LP "Fear of Reality" at Zuckerfabrik Studios in Stuttgart. We got 12 white pressing to check the product but this was the last time we heared from GAMA. They stopped operating or whatever. Fact is that this LP never was released. I was 16 years old back then and I have to laugh when I hear the record today. But I do not think we were worse than our label mates Necronomicon or Vectom. Sudden Darkness did another demo with the new guitar player Roger Dequis and singer Axel Schott. The style changed drastically into something more technical. The rest can be read in the Economist-section...

Neudi, the former drummer recently uploaded this killer promo video:Vaggelis wrote:I think i'll love the promo-album but is there anyway to hear it?If it is even close to NECRONOMICON or VECTOM then that must be a gem.

Great stuff if you ask me, the vocals are very punkish, even more than those from NECRONOMICON for example, but the music slays.
They have been contacted by two labels to do a re-issue, but couldn't do it because of legal issues.

It is not so complicated, some people just have their priorities elsewhere.
