BAPHOMET'S BLOOD - Metal Damnation BAPHOMET'S BLOOD

The LP Metal Damnation, reissued on Dying Victims Productions, compiles the third album by Baphomet's Blood and showcases the band's raw, unwavering approach.

This edition is based on the material originally released in 2009 and is presented by the label as a long-overdue reissue, now made available on CD for the first time. The production emphasizes a direct sound and playing speed, with no unnecessary embellishments.

Musically, Metal Damnation moves between speed and thrash metal, with strong leanings toward classic heavy metal: punchy riffs, driving tempo changes, and prominent gang vocals define the album’s eight tracks. Songs like Devil's Night and the title track Metal Damnation, highlight the preference for anthemic, straight-ahead compositions. The record also includes a cover of Ready for Hell (originally by Killer), further underlining its connection to old-school heavy metal.

Key aspects of this release are the lineup and the production credits: the original formation delivers a rough, immediate performance, supported by guest choirs. According to sources, the recordings were produced with the involvement of Manuele Marani and tracked at Mara's Cave.

For fans of classic, unvarnished metal, this LP offers a documentary-style addition to the body of work of Baphomet's Blood.
