Tormentor - Rehearsal 2 demo (1986) (2 replies). This LP shows what these LA Speedcore/Thrash maniacs are able to deliver today They took their very first session written in 1985 and entirely re-recorded in 2015 it with a solid yet raw, ass-kicking production. As I have only crapola mp3s to compare, the sound quality of the vinyl mastering seems not to interfere with the immediacy of the original (it was a rehearsal tape after all). Tormentor - Live At Balboa Theatre, Los Angeles bootleg (1986) (3 replies). Second installement completing the FCDN Tormentor discography on FOAD together with 'Demonic thereafter'. But the A side is essential because that 86 rehearsal tape is mind-bogglingly urgent, violent, raw, and energetic. Completeness is cool but no one will ever listen to the B side. The flipside here is a throw-away 85 rehearsal tape with some of the same songs in inferior versions and no vocals.
Their 86 rehearsal tape has been circulating among maniacs for two decades now, and this LP finally puts Archemeny on vinyl, which they never managed while around. Second installement completing the FCDN Tormentor discography on FOAD together with Demonic thereafter. on a deep underground level knew of such bands as: Genocide (Later Repulsion), Insanity, Heresy, Siege, Napalm Death, F.C.D.N. They were listening to metal but also to ultra-fast hardcore and early crossover like DRI. More recent is has disentombed and resurrected in the summer of 20014. They were reckless teenagers who were pissed off and wanted to play at extreme velocity. FCDN Tormentor is a speed/thrash metal band. The details of the rise of this musical form are better left to someone else who will surely point to Death and Possessed, but what’s incontrovertible is that, alongside Fatal Catastrophy Demolishing Noise Tormentor (no shit aka, FCDN Tormentor) and Insanity, Archenemy was one of the fastest and most brutal metal bands circa 85/86, to my ears way more impressive than Death or Possessed-or Slayer for that matter. Archenemy was one of a triumvirate of California metal bands that more or less invented death metal.
