Death Courier "EP and Demo" LP

Best known for the distinctive blend of black metal that emerged from its lands in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Greece is widely and appropriately recognized as one of the most important historical locations in the evolution of some of the darkest and most obscure music ever created. The bands which are most often credited with the development of this Hellenic metal strain are those such as the great Rotting Christ, Varathron, and Necromantia. Less commonly discussed in the same breath, but equally deserving, is Death Courier, who shared the same stage in terms of both period and geography with the three aforementioned bands. In fact, whereas the other three released their first albums in 1993, Death Courier's debut album, "Demise," actually predated them all by a year. Stylistically speaking, the vocal delivery as well as the rhythmically-oriented riffing, as characterized by generous implementation of palm muting, all serve to underscore the connection shared among these bands.
