Heres another great piece to add to my Vio-Lence collection \m/

Track listing:

1. Eternal Nightmare
2. Kill on Command
3. Bodies on Bodies
4. Paraplegic

Line up:
* Sean Killian (vox)
* Phil Demmel (Guitar)
* Dean Dell (Bass)
* Perry Strickland (Drums)
* Troy Fua (Guitar)

Recorded, Mixed, & Mastered at Prairie Sun Studios
Recorded July 26-28, 1986
Mixed November 4, 1986
Engineered by Steve Heger
Produced by Violence

This is the first recording with Sean Killian on vocals. Troy Fua is one of the guitarists. Fast-forward sufficiently and get to a hidden track: "Gutterslut" live from 1985, the Eastern Front compilation track.

"This pre-"Eternal Nightmare" demo from 1986 is a prize for 2 reasons: not only does it contain the original-lyric version of "Bodies On Bodies" (It was decided that some lyrics were too "controversial", so select lines were altered for the album), but the demo also features the track "Paraplegic", deemed altogether too controversial for inclusion on their debut album.

Thanx dude. I still a few items to locate and buy though. Around a year ago, a Central American pressing of Oppressing The Masses was on eBay. The cool thing is that it’s an official Atlantic Records (Megaforce) recoding but all the song titles on the reverse of the sleave and the album title on the front are written in Spanish - even though the album is sung in English. I’ve only ever seen 2 in existence. I didn’t have the money at the time to buy it – im still kicking myself.
