Before Immortal came to life, guitarist Demonaz worked on a hybrid of primitive death metal and Bathory in a band he formed with later Hades drummer Jørn Inge Tunsberg. Nuclear War Now! productions will release the two Amputation demos as a single CD/LP entitled Slaughtered in the Arms of God on August 20, 2020.

The label issued the following statement:

Amputation was a Norwegian deathrash band featuring Demonaz AKA Harald Naevdal of Immortal as well as Jørn Inge Tunsberg from Hades. This LP collects their two demos from 1990 and 1989, as well as a rehearsal from 1989. Recommended listening for fans of Schizophrenia era Sepultura, Old Funeral, and S/T LP era Master.
