DIABOLIC - City of the Dead (1997 Demo)

LABEL: Vic Records

Florida death metal at its best! This compilation contains the earliest DIABOLIC recordings, "City of the Dead" (1997)  and ultra rare promo demo from 1998.

DIABOLIC was formed in 1996 in Tampa, Florida by bassist/vocalist Paul Ouellette (Exmortis), drummer Aantar Lee Coates (Exmortis, Eulogy, Horror of Horrors) and guitarist Brian Malone.

By January 1997 the band recorded and released the successful demo "City of the Dead". This demo immediately got the band noticed in the worldwide underground press. "City of the Dead" was mixed at Morrisound Studios (Death, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide) by Jim Morris and produced by Lee Harrison (Monstrosity, Malevolent Creation, Terrorizer). In 1998 the band recorded a 9 track promo that was only sent out to a very few labels to get signed and never officially released.

CD comes packaged in a jewel case with an 16-page booklet featuring an interview with drummer Lee Coates conducted by Steven Willem (Rock Tribune, Voices from The  Dark Side).
