Apocalypse (Dnk) - Out in the Night [Demo] (1986)

The sought after demo "Out in the Night" from danish Apocalypse. Recorded and mixed in one day 1/6-1986 with the line-up: Rene Due - Vocals, Allan Sørensen - Bass, Morten Nielsen - Drums (Mercyful Fate, Crime Academy, Furious Trauma, Red Warszawa, Shermann Soldiers, Zoser Mez, Force Majeure), Jesper Schmidt - Guitars (Crime Academy, Furious Trauma, Force Majeure) and Michael Grønnemose - Guitars.

The badass artwork was made by a friend of the band; Jesper Vallentin, he also drew other versions of it, one with a demon/headbanger playing a guitar at the cemetery while he steps on Ratt/Motley Crue discs, but the cover you see here was the one the band chose to use. I will probably get a high-resolution scan of it in the near future and upload it here, keep your eyes open!

Apocalypse also contributed with two tracks "Live I Laden" and "Genocide" on the 1987 "Metal Outlet" split together with Marion, Metal Cross, Gain and Royal Flush. The demo are basically in the same style and delivers great solid heavy metal! "Infernal War Machine" and "Witch Deceiver" got my attention immediately and are by far the best tracks on the demo, catchy riffs, great lyrics & choruses are all i need to get satisfied!.

Many thanks to Jesper Schmidt and Morten Nielsen for providing me with the tape and for finnaly making it possible to hear this obscurity! Tak som helvede!
