Decayed
In Lustful Mayhem
[Skyfall]


Originally, "In Lustful Mayhem" was supposed to be either a 7" or a cassette EP, but Skyfall records from Portugal wanted to make a CD with these songs, that's why the cover can look a bit "weird". And this is also why DECAYED were really pissed off after Skyfall's attitude... So the CD presents the songs that were supposed to appear on the "Lustful Mayhem" tape plus the 5 tracks of the "Seven seals" EP which was out 3 years earlier. The "cassette EP tracks" are not really great, they have a very poor sound (the sound on their first CD was much better), which is quite bad as I'm sure with a decent sound quality they would appear much better. They include 2 coversongs, one from VENOM "Witching hour" and one from SODOM "Blasphemer". The "7 seals" tracks are much more interesting. They have a good production and are in the first album's vein, I mean pure BATHORY / VENOM / HELLHAMMER styled songs. This is Black Fucking Headbanging metal as DECAYED knows how to do it. I think they are the only reason why you should buy this CD, but if you already have this 7"EP there is no reason for you to get this album.
