- Definitely, I feel like it reintroduced a lot of the death doom influence that was present on Steineiche and Schattenga
Cheers! 🍻- Haha, that was definitely one of the most memorable experiences!

Can I please get details. I have questions. If you
could answer them I would be so grateful.
Is there track listings inside the demo 1 and 2 covers?
Is walking the same on 1981 demo and demo 1?
Which one of death kiss (walking) is on the 97
Reissue of oath?
Can I get a picture of the rest of the cover besides the logo cover?
Is death kiss listed as walking on
The first two demo tapes
Are there actually 4 demos or is two demos (walking/you/running)
(Curse/corpse/burning/vampire/moon)
All so confusing.
I’m using this as a reference.
gloriousdeath
There are no track listings inside these covers; but these are not original tapes. Demo #1comes without credits; i know as my other upload is 100% authentic....but then again; back then sleeves good differ so maybe there are some with ?!? As for demo #2: i don't know, never seen an original one !!! As said before Death kiss of demo 1981 is Walking back to Hell of demo #1 but with the counts added. I'm not sure which version is included on the re-issue, but i guess you can figure that out now. Btw the version on Return of the Vampire has a weird flanger effect on it; the original doesn't have it ( or the sound quality is not good enough to hear it). Well as for the covers...there's nothing more then the logo as depicted; but again...these are bootlegs. Finally...they did 4 demotapes: demo 1981, demo #1, demo #2 and Burning the cross. I hope this helps you out !!!
mercyfkingf on
My man. Wow! You are a life saver.
So 1981 demo (the first) it was death kiss but then the next demo demo#1 it was changed to walking back to hell?
gloriousdeath
Exactly !!!! Man...i just put the original demo in the deck; i'm always a bit hesitant and scared to play those really old tapes...i would get a heartattack when the tape would get sucked in haha
mercyfkingf on
I swear I’m been losing my mind going between if it’s fate, Brats or Danger zone hahahaha. Thank you so much for putting up with my lunacy hahaha.
Now demo3/4 that has the live Holland tracks added, is that a John special? Looks like his handwriting.
gloriousdeath
I really don't know...i got these tapes ages and ages ago; but i'm unsure about the origins. I think these are contemporary dubs or atleast 80's ones. Sleeves are really hand-written...so who knows !!!!
mercyfkingf on
Is this the one on demo 1
https://youtu.be/HcUZ_zLJiwk
gloriousdeath
yep, that's the one. It's been polished up somewhat...or maybe my tape has deteriorated a bit. But that's the version on demo #1.
mercyfkingf on
So would you say these track lists are on the money?
All 4 are listed. Again thank you!

Demo #2 is correct, both my original demo #1 and the boot doesn't have Love criminals on it...well the boot has the complete Brats demo including Love criminals....both other demo's seems to be listed correctly at metal archives
