Metal Church/Complete Shrapnel Tapes 1981-1983

Great collector’s CD! An early demo sound collection with different content from “The Shrapnel Tapes 81-84” made in Europe in 2008! Contains 16 demo and rehearsal sound sources from ’81 to ’83! It was from when they were still working hard to get a record contract, and as the title suggests, it seems to have been prepared for SHRAPNEL Records. (In the end, the first album was released as an independent record, and as you know, the success that followed). The contents include the 1981 San Francisco “RED SKIES” DEMO and the 1983 DEMO. There are 16 songs in total as shown below. Red Skies, Merciless Onlslaught, Put the Chains On, Graveyard Lust, Battalions, Gods of Wrath, Deathwish, The Brave, Put the Chains On, Arab Nations, Wake and Die. I don’t know if it will last, but TROUBLE seems to be selling their releases on tour, so I guess one of the members has officially approved it. Well, DAVID WAYNE is probably smiling bitterly from heaven… It has also been remastered! mast! 1 Deathwish 2 The Brave 3 Battalions 4 Gods Of Wrath May 1983 Instrumental Demo 5 Thrasher 6 Graveyard Lust 7 (Unknown Song) 8 Death Wish 9 Death Wish W/ Vocals Dec. 1981 Rehearsal w/ Mike Murphy on Vocals 10 Wake Up And Die 11 Put The Chains On 12 Arab Nations Red Skies Demo (Early 81) 13 Red Skies 14 Merciless Onslaught 15 And Heads Will Roll Early 1981 Rehearsal 16 Put The Chains On (Instrumental)
