Arcfiend
Mortified With Hate
In the mid 1980s the Canadian West Coast erupted with a new wave of speed/thrash metal and Victoria BC's most evil and extreme sounding group of the period was Arcfiend. Led by visionary guitar/vocalist Quin McCulloch first as a trio playing a mix of originals and covers and later evolving into a refined quartet, Arcfiend's unreleased recordings echoed with greatness... but nothing ever materialized for them beyond a few legendary shows. This carefully remastered mega-long EP collects 4 great songs, the speed metal trio similar to 'Pleasure To Kill' era Kreator on A and the technical death/thrash quartet reminiscent of Sepultura's 'Schizophrenia' on B. With a 12 page booklet featuring vintage artwork by Quin McCulloch and the late Chris Stanley, plus flyers, photographs and their story. Lo-fi Monophonic metal mayhem!! Demorgorgon!!! 500 copies.
