This collection focuses primarily on early recordings by PROTECTOR, who were active in the German underground scene, and is known as a comprehensive compilation covering tracks from their 1986 demo period through the early 1990s. With tracks selected from demos, EPs, and albums, the album offers a comprehensive overview of the band’s musical evolution and serves as a highly valuable historical document summarizing their early career.\nWhile grounded in the raw, aggressive riffs characteristic of German thrash, the album is distinguished by its extreme expression that approaches early death metal. In addition to the intense sense of speed created by the razor-sharp, high-speed guitar riffs and the raw rhythm section, the dirty and ferocious vocals further heighten the overall aggressiveness of the tracks. The demo recordings, in particular, exude a raw, visceral energy, vividly conveying the atmosphere of the underground thrash scene at the time. On the other hand, in the tracks from their album era, the construction of riffs and song development become more intricate, and one can observe the process by which they established their unique style—a fusion of thrash and death metal elements.\nCombining intense speed, a dark atmosphere, and extreme vocal delivery, this compilation is essential for understanding PROTECTOR’s musicality and is also a fascinating record that illustrates the evolution of German extreme metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Protector Of Death (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e2.Misanthropy\u003cbr\u003e3.Kain And Abel\u003cbr\u003e4.Golem\u003cbr\u003e5.Apocalyptic Revelations\u003cbr\u003e6.Urm The Mad\u003cbr\u003e7.Mortal Passion\u003cbr\u003e8.A Shedding Of Skin\u003cbr\u003e9.Tantalus\u003cbr\u003e10.Mental Malaria\u003cbr\u003e11.The Heritage\u003cbr\u003e12.The End (Demo)\u003cbr\u003e13.Road Rage\u003cbr\u003e14.Sons Of Kain\u003cbr\u003e15.Xenophobia\u003cbr\u003e16.Cursed And Coronated\u003cbr\u003e17.Realm Of Crime\u003cbr\u003e18.The Celtic Hammer\u003cbr\u003e19.Perpetual Blood Oath\u003cbr\u003e20.Pandemic Misery\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High Roller Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52776494694689,"sku":"4251267723683","price":3141.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4251267723683.jpg?v=1779963833","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4251267723683","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
