Unholy Death

by NME

Unholy Death cover art

Shrouded in notoriety due to the later criminal conviction of frontman Kurt Strömdahl, this extremely lo-fi Seattle debut is a horrifying precursor to the second wave of black metal. The chaotic, furiously noisy barrage of speed metal and proto-death riffing established a uniquely violent benchmark within the 1980s American underground.
