Reuploaded - 2022

Here is an obscure release by the Swedish black metal band turned thrashers Swordmaster which featured Jon's little bro Emil Nödtveidt. And this is a pretty damn good one too, even if it is instrumental. So no need to criticize the vocalist here. Great stuff, it's a pity their black metal phase didn't last longer or result in more material.

I received this from one of my tape trader contacts so no cover art. The sound quality is good 90's demo level and the rip turned out ok too so nothing stops you on that account. Don't let the word "instrumental" scare you away from this release, it's killer!

Hey Velkaarn: I can post the first Malign demo if you want, but I bet you have that one. Anyway, let me know if you are interested

Do you have original? Mine's (I think) a first generation dub so rip from an original is of course welcome!

Misfits kirjoitti...

No, sorry, it's not a rip from an original either.

Hails Velkaarn!

Can you please re-upload this promo? Thanks in advance.

@1000 Year Corpse:

Sure, good of you to request this as I was supposed to do that already but forgot it. Uploading as I type.

Thanks a lot for the fast reply! Even though this is unofficial, it has some of my favorite Swordmaster stuff, i prefer the era of "Wraths of Time EP" and before...

Keep up the good work, with one of the best blogs around the net. \m/

@Corpse:

You're welcome and I share your preference for that era of Swordmaster. Which reminds me, I need to post a single track promo I got from brother Grev too. Nothing new on it, though.

Mind re-uploading that one? And seeing you mentioned the first Malign recording, are you aware of its re-release (Shadow Records 2020)?

@Bloodthirst:

Late, but it's been reupped, this certainly deserves it.

And yes, I've seen the Shadow Recs re-release which looks very interesting due the alternative takes included. I should finally buy a copy.
