“Witchdance Rising Demo 1” Demo and “If None Will Call the Devil’s Blood… Demo 2” on one LP
Gray vinyl.
(Taken from 2004 7” re-issue, words by Timo Ketola) This history of the death metal band that is known today as Ligeia goes all the way back to the first years of the decade. Formed from friends who had a mutual admiration for Kansas City area local legends Order from Chaos and Swedish death done the right way (Treblinka, Grotesque etc…), the band began rehearsals for their first real demo which took the shape of “The Conqueror Worm” demo from the year 1993. The demo had all of the hallmarks of a demo that ten years down the line would have people still mesmerized! Unfortunately for the large part the triumphant 3 song debut of Nepenthe went largely unheard, hoarded by its true followers and cherished along with demos by Nihilist and Treblinka! “The Conqueror Worm” consisted of three songs -”The Conqueror Worm”, “Gleaming Eyes of Darkness”, and “On the Cheek of an Eternity”. This demo’s line up was short lived as Joe the vocalist was asked to leave after its release and the band continued on as a three piece… Alex Blume – bass/vocals, Patrick Brown – guitars, and Chris Overton – Drums. This line up would see the band through the coming years’ trials and tribulations. In 1994 the band signed a contract to do a 7” and mini CD for a European label, unfortunately negotiations of the deal broke down and the band was stuck with what it already recorded for the label, the “Ligeia” 7’ EP tracks. During the very turbulent year of 1995 the band laid pretty much dormant, recording the one and only official live show it did as a demo in February off 1995 (”Live at Howard’s) and parting with Alex later the same year renaming the whole project Ligeia, after the, at the time, yet unreleased EP. The “Live at Howard’s” demo is another yet unfound gem, with covers of both Tiamat and Sathanas and live versions of songs still not released, the demo is a true diamond in the rough,with a questionable sound but also with a heaviness yet unheard of on these shores! In the Winter of 1995/1996 the band recorded one final EP’s worth of material. Entitled “In Death Overshadow Thee” the public has yet to witness the truest of brutality in American death! In the Spring of 1996 the band laid things to rest, as Chris had joined the rising project Vulpecula. The band still had a plethora of unheard material so negotiations began with Eternal Darkness Records in the Spring of 1996 to release the long shelved Nepenthe “Ligeia” 7’ EP. In April of 1996 Eternal Darkness did just that! And to glue the last paragraph to this old biography: And the years rolled on, until Dauthus felt “In Death…” shouldn’t remain as a mere title in the tape trading lists, it deserves black vinyl. Chris Overton agreed, Eternal Darkness dug up the layout originals of the unreleased cassette version (as once prepared by Pat Brown), which were adapted for 7” format. With the help of the mentioned persons, and Chuck Keller who delivered the master, we can hereby enjoy the final Ligeia chapter in its rightful format.

Tithe is a Portland, Oregon-based band that constructs an unorthodox amalgamation of death metal, black metal, and grind without straying too far from the fundamentals of aggressiveness and depravity. Conceived in 2017 by vocalist / guitarist Matt Eiseman and drummer Kevin Swartz, the band spent its first years writing and releasing a self-titled EP before finding bassist Alex Huddleston at the end of 2018. This lineup went on to release their debut album Penance in May 2020, which despite the challenge of releasing in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, was well-received. The album explores the themes of psychedelics, mental illness and the human condition. Tithe’s sophomore album Inverse Rapture evolves upon the themes of Penance and morphs into a more angry, raw and dissonant form. The trio’s most incendiary material to date, this latest maintains the blazing tempos the band is known for with dreary, lowering passages strewn throughout. Produced / mixed by Fester, mastered by Adam Gonsalves and featuring the macabre art of Abomination Hammer, Inverse Rapture is a complete exhibition of viciousness and despair beginning to end.

“This was amongst the wave of releases on Goatowarex that were all great examples of what was going on in the higher echelons of the underground at the time, but this one especially is excellent and should be praised as a classic of the time period. Raw, no-frills black metal with true emotion and also really great live.” – Neill Jameson
