Just one year after the debut, the band took a significant step forward, refining its sound into a more technical and sophisticated direction while retaining the aggression and energy that defined its roots.

More mature and accomplished than its predecessor, the album has earned cult status among fans of technical Thrash and advanced US Metal.

989 demo by this Polish Speed/ Black Metal band, presented here in a 2024 CD reissue compiling the complete known recordings of the group. In addition to the original "Deo Optimo Maximo" demo, this edition includes three rehearsal tracks from 1992 and eight rehearsal recordings from 1988, providing a comprehensive overview of one of the most obscure and overlooked acts from the early Polish extreme metal scene.
Their sound stands somewhere between savage Speed Metal and the primitive first wave of Black Metal, drawing clear inspiration from HELLHAMMER, CELTIC FROST, KAT and SODOM. Short, aggressive and raw songs packed with frantic riffing, harsh vocals and a genuinely underground atmosphere that perfectly captures the spirit of Eastern European extreme metal in its formative years. A true cult relic for devotees of ancient and uncompromising Black Metal.
