Poison "Into the abyss (Resurrected)" CD

Formed in 1982, Germany’s Poison is a name that echoes with true cult status - an uncompromising force of black/death metal filth from the early underground. Forget the imitators. This is the only Poison that matters. For fans of Venom, Hellhammer, and early Sodom, their 1987 masterwork delivers a relentless assault of pummeling death/thrash and primitive black metal fury. Building on the raw chaos of their earlier demos, this release showcases a huge leap in songwriting, musicianship, and sheer barbarity without sacrificing the unpolished evil that defines their sound. Every riff, every blast, every blood-soaked shriek comes through with a newfound clarity thanks to a proper studio recording finally capturing the band’s sharpened edge without sanding off the grit. It’s still crusty, still nasty, and absolutely full of character. A pristine production job would have ruined it. Instead, you get a rare document of a band at the height of its powers, untamed but refined, chaotic but focused. Poison’s 1987 recording is non-negotiable. Mandatory for maniacs of the old ways. For maximum effect, grow a moustache!
