The band is no longer offering the album for free. Although the link you've provided still works, we wont include it on the site.

Interesting, I'll add that to the site tomorrow... and the Music Vault too, doesn't look like the band has a page in there yet either.

would it be cool if I made a seperate dl thread in the non-metal section for trance and the like?

Oteis added Stairs To Nowhere to the vault here a while back - their entire "Adieu Delicate Atheist" album is free to download - awesome indie rock (with some bite!):
http://www.stairstonowhere.nl/

Lugsole (indie rock, post-hardcore) currently has all their releases up for free download via their Band Camp site, including all their early cassette-only demos:

Interesting. Not my normal style, but still pretty good. Adding them now.

While very nice, I wont add them to the site, as it's not quite the right genre. I'm downloading and listening to them all though, they're very nice.

Thanks mazzie. Nice stuff. Anyway it contains my favorite hymn (I need Thee every hour)

This was my solo project and first attempt at extreme metal creation. The name of the project is GRIM, which is an acronym for God Rules In Metal, and was active 1997-2000. The musical focus was on death metal, black metal, with instrumental acoustic guitar and piano pieces.

After a few demo tapes which got some decent zine reviews, I had a full length CD released through Laceration Productions called Scepter of Blood. The CD did well, with Cross Rhythms Music being my biggest selling location. I retain the rights to the music, which is why they're getting posted here.

Below is the link for the said album.
For those of you lucky enough to get your hands on this back in the day, you might say,
"Well, I already have this. No sense in downloading it."

W-R-O-N-G.

Here's what's different. I gave the album a professional mastering, something it never had. The sound quality is improved DRAMATICALLY. There is also a bonus song, the last GRIM song made, called "Veil of Darkness".

Granted even after the mastering, it still has a lot of production flaws, and there are times when the music isn't the tightest. The "drums" for Scepter of Blood (which were played on a keyboard) is a whole other issue....

There is some decent tunes here. It's definitely old school, the vocals slay, and it is really an enjoyable listen. (heh, especially for me, its a part of my musical history!) The tunes have been compared to old-Kekal, Crimson Thorn, Metanoia, Horde, Antestor and Paramæcium. (which ironically were most of my musical influences)

The "Veil of Darkness" song (which has me on real drums) was the fodder for the music I'm doing today. *cough* click my signature below *cough* This song was featured on a Laceration Productions Compilation called "Screams of Abaddon" (the first one) released in 2000. (Thanks to Necromanicide for getting this song to me. I really appreciate it!!!)

Without further ado.... here's the download:

hey man I never knew this was you. But I just wanted to let you know that the acoustic passage Writhe is the song I listen to when im having a bad day and its very uplifting to me. Thank you for making this CD back in 99!

Been a slow month for new downloads. I added an experimental album and a progressive/power one the other week.

Mark, where did you dig this up? Is the band offering it for free, or are you just throwing this out there because it's a demo? Just curious - any thrash band I'm unaware of is an immediate "flashing red lights and sirens" for me

You sure they're Christian? one of their album titles is causing me to seriously question that.
