Spear Of Creation (butterfly Variant) [LP]

Butterfly variant. Vinyl LP pressing. The members of Vadiat read like an encyclopedia of Death Metal. While guitarist /vocalist Brian Sekula's mainstay was Cleveland's legendary Death/Thrashers TERROR, he was a touring member of MORTICIAN (96-97) and worked as a sound engineer for the likes of bands like Incantation, Nunslaughter, Morpheus Descends, and many others. Vadiat's founding counterpart, drummer Joe Twardizk, was a founding member of Cleveland's infamous BLOOD OF CHRIST. Second guitar player, Matt Sorg, spends time in a number of underground Cleveland acts, most notably Ringworm & Shed the Skin, and bassist extraordinare, Ed Stephens, another legend in the Cleveland scene who is a member of Beyond Fear, Shed the Skin, Vanik, Vindicator, and ex-Charred Walls of the Damned. The band's sound has been compared to a mix of the best parts of early Swedish, Finnish, British, and US Death Metal. Decibel Magazine summed up Spear of Creation well, writing, The band's sound is clearly rooted in doom-heavy bands like early Amorphis, Incantation and Immolation, along with a healthy dose of classic Bolt Thrower. For fans of classic, straightforward darkness
