This is the remastered version

of the best Death Metal album of all time. Nothing more to add. I want

to keep this review short becouse this album is from me the absolute

bible of Death Metal the way it should always be played, vocals are

absolutely inhuman, maybe the best ever recorded in ANY Death Metal

record, the sound is absolutely dark, brooding, abysmally obscure, yet

crunchy and havy as a load of rotting meat. If you start listening to

this CD (which was also released a few years ago by Earache/Necrosis

as a split with CADAVER), in a chronological order starting with the

demo number one, you can easily identify a huge CARCASS spine, which

is actually the embryo of what later developed in CARCASS’s unique style

(if you can get ahold of CARCASS’s “Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment”

demo you understand what I mean) of gore soaked pathologism. What later

developed from this demo is a unique, sincere, untamed essence of underground

spirit and sincere AUTOPSY laden artwork, this masterpiece took form

of “Dark Recollections”, also blessed by an unique, incredible

cover artwork that can make any other Seagrave work shit in its pants).

Beyond this CD, nobody can go, what spills from every second of its

length is beyond words, it might have been played by young musicians

but all of these musicians have later ripped this sound to create band

each of which have paved an unique style in the intricate world of underground

Death Metal. And the very spirit, the very class of each of them was

avident tenfold in this album. A masterpiece beyond time and words.

No words to praise it the right way. Absolute number one.
