30 Years Ago: BEHERIT release The Oath of Black Blood

Yes, "The Oath of Black Blood" poser 12" is out now. Fuckin' stupid 12". But it was not our idea. I was against to release those old songs on vinyl. We will record our first true album in '92. It should be real heavy...

A compilation of the Demonomancy demo (1990) and Dawn of Satan's Millennium EP (1991), though often considered BEHERIT's debut album, Turbo Music released The Oath of Black Blood on this day in 1991.
In the decades since its release The Oath... has attained an iconic status, serving as the introduction for many to BEHERIT along with their the first proper album Drawing Down the Moon.

[Turbo Music] have some stupid ideas and plans I hate really much, but they work much for us. They sent a good offer and we had some problems at that time. We were 2nd band on TURBO, we didn't know what the future would bring. But I think they are still OK.
