Band's own Statement: "After Ingo (a.k.a. Ed Gein) left the Band the whole creative Responsibility, including musical and lyrical Ideas was basically left to Marek, who also had to switch to Guitars and lead Vocals, after the Search for a new Frontman who should have been able to replace Ingo failed. Marek's more sophisticated, technical and ambitious Style shapes the Band's Music since this Release. Knowing well about the lacks in Majo's Drum- Skills he was forced -in this period- to compose Songs in which the main work was done by Guitars and Bass. The Result was a mix of more sophisticated, sometimes non- conform Thrash Metal- Ideas and his own preferences to more fast and darker Death Metal- Riffs. Before he created an own, more inhuman Vocal- Style during the next years he adapted Ingo's former Thrash- Shouting- Style from “Tales from the Crypt” to surpass him. The desire to surpass his former Bandmate resulted from a couple of voices among the local fan scene, who claimed without Ingo the whole Band wouldn't prevail. During the time the new Demo- CD was sold among our fan- circle and send to different actors in the Metal- Community as well, we further renounced of our Pseudonyms from the “Tales from the Crypt”- Era.
Although there are still some lacks in the musical performance, especially in case of the drums the Demo left a decent Impact in the Metal Community: 9/ 12 Points in Heavy- Magazine, 11/ 15 Points in Legacy Magazine and the first culmination of reviews and interviews in online- fanzines and even in the local Radio. “Blooddawn in Kadath” further appeared on the Metal Gospel- Sampler."
