HAVOC - The Demos CD

Available: 20 DEC 2024
***50 first retail orders from SONIC AGE store will receive a HAVOC Pin!***

HAVOC was an 80's metal band from San Francisco, California that every serious U.S. metal fan and collector is familiar with. Their iconic album "The Grip" originally released in 1985 on Auburn Records is considered to be one of the best U.S. metal LP's released in the 80's and it was about time for an official reissue of it to emerge, as almost 40 years have passed since its original release date.

In collaboration with the original drummer of the band Jeff Gfroerer and the other original HAVOC members we agreed to release nearly all the songs that the band ever composed. Aside from "The Grip", the band had recorded before and after the album a series of amazing demos with different line-ups. Therefore, it was essential that all these demos also get to be released for the first time in physical format, resulting to a collection of songs under the title "The Demos", featuring lyrics, story, credits and remastered sound.

Just like with "The Grip", "The Demos" will be available on Vinyl, CD and Digital Platforms with the release being expected to be ready by late Autumn, 2024.

Shout out to Laurent Ramadier, editor of SNAKEPIT magazine for hooking us up with the band and for providing us with the best source of the raging Demo '88 as well as additional material. HAIL!

Limited to 500 copies.
