Finnish death metal occultists Adramelech last year unleashed two compilations of their early works, Spring of Recovery and Recoveries of the Fallen, which compiled the many EPs, singles, demos, live tracks, and rehearsals that make up a successful death metal oeuvre.

These recordings slide closer to the nocturnal ambience and ambiguous existence expressed in Demigod works, but maintain a spirit of their own, seeking to (in the best Finnish tradition!) branch ancestral folk, primal hard rock, early heavy metal, Terveet Kadet hardcore, and early death metal into a progressive but storytelling form of ambient, haunting death metal.

Spring of Recovery compiles the “Spring of Recovery” 7″ EP (1992), “Grip of Darkness” Demo Cassette (1991), and “Promo 1993″ Cassette into one four-song recording.

This one came out on Morbid Wrath Records and went through several editions.
