Does anyone have any opinions on this one? I couldn't find any sound clips for this
demo. All info welcome.

Standard and occasionally dark thrash with some nice throaty vocals. Production is a bit thin. Nothing exceptional overall.

I hope to get a copy next week and also the band before ALchemicon was named Crusader which I also hope to get a copy.i had attended a couple crusader gigs at my local high school back in the eighties.the guitarist plays in a bay area death metal band called oblivion now. Thanks for the above replies

Vocals are terrible but it's overall a very good demo (being from 1988), with a little of german thrash edge (Violent Force, Sodom etc.), which is surprising since they are from USA ...

I recall an ALCHEMICON from the Bay Area back in 86/ 87... I had got a few live tapes but I thought that was more like Hardcore?!

I wouldn't call it standard ... it's pretty much above average Thrash like the rude Dark Angel stuff.

Not even close as far as brutality is concerned.

The sample track on the death records sampler ain't too bad at all.i await to hear the entire release.

My fave Dark Angel song is "Get Your Fucking Dog Off My Lawn".

Either that or "I drank all the milk and left the empty carton in the fridge"

the whole terror:

still sounding like mixing parts of "We have arrived" and "Darkness descends" ...

Only for Bay Area completists.

There's an addition of another demo of ALCHEMICON in M-A, prior to this one. I wonder if anyone here has it and is willing to upload it. I'm listening again to the '88 demo and it's better than I remember it, has at least two killer tunes, "The Intruder Within" and the instrumental "Third Degree", and the whole demo generally rages hard enough.
