I'm back with another contribution that has been waiting on the limbo of my old HD for too long though this time I had a semi-decent excuse for my hesitation - you see I tried to find a little additional information on this NZ compilation tape but came up with none. The main issue here is that it's lacking completely the artist of the 16th track. So if anyone could elaborate on the last artist and/or provide a cover scan that would be very much appreciated! UPDATE: Got one from comrade F! Thanks! Tracklisting edited and corrected in both post and folder, please re-download for corrected version with the full cover.

Like mentioned above, this compilation tape was a contribution by Stephen, a reader from NZ, thanks again, and features a bunch of bands playing various styles of death metal, from grinding blasts to black metal to slow churning doomy metal of death. A quite good representation of the NZ scene circa 1993 or so (release of the tape was in January 1994) and recommended listen to all into death metal. Especially now that I got the last track fixed with the artist's name and tracklisting in general!

The last track is Cyrrhosis, and memory serves that the compilation would have been released circa 1993, rather than 1994. The Nun Raper track is a fake - bass lines from an Eviscerate track, with an attempt at imitating the vocalist of said band by none other than Karl of Indulgence/Convulsion. The Convulsion track here sounds horrific, as rather than a remix, I believe that the bass lines were re-recorded and the drums replaced by a drum machine...

Cover for the tape can be found here:

I'll flick some other stuff over soon - too busy with other projects.

I forgot to mention, Entropy features members who went on to form Diocletian, although only Brendon is currently active.

Hi again Brother,
link is dead and this compilation tape looks very interesting [bec.of the fact New Zeleand is not known [I mean old metal scene or just those very few bands in '90 - and the only which got some recognition is of course Demoniac] so it may be something good.
Can you reupload this link?
Greetings!!!

I've reuploaded this again so have a go at it! You might also notice the blog features a number of bands from the NZ (including several from the comp) so there's a bit more to explore once you're done with this.
