Savior - Brutal Tradition [1992 demo]


Brutal Tradition, the 1992 demo from Savior, is the third release out of seven to be converted and featured on this site.  I'm still vigilantly on the hunt for the other four releases: Requiem For The Dead [1987], Contempt Of Life [1988], Twist Of Fate [1989] and Bleeding At The Heart [1993].  If you have any of those tapes, please get in touch via email - pdxunderground43@gmail.com


 Now onto the release itself.  This demo continues where The Face Of Adversity left off two years earlier, as you can hear the death metal influence occupying a slightly larger focus of the sound.  The result is six tracks that showcase a great mix of early 90s death/thrash.  
There are also two versions of the Brutal Tradition demo.  One produced locally by the band, and the version I have, which came out on Asta Records in Poland.  The songs are all the same, and there are only minor changes in font choice with the layout.

National Guard's second demo, which was also released in 1995.  Twelve tracks that showed a more powerful and slightly faster sound than the previous demo from earlier in the year.

Remastered from the master DAT tape.
