NIRVANA 2002 - Recordings 89-91 Album Streaming In It's Entirety
November 12, 2009, 15 years ago
Earlier this week, Relapse Records released a collection of recordings from the Swedish death metal outfit NIRVANA 2002 in North America.
The highly underrated yet influential band only released a series of demos and splits during their existence through the late '80’s and early '90’s. This collection, Recordings 89-91, will compile almost all of the band’s recorded works onto one disc, including previously unreleased songs and a brand new remix of their legendary demo Disembodied Spirits.
The set is currently streaming in it's entirety at this location.
Nirvana 2002’s vocalist / guitarist Orvar Säfström (who later joined ENTOMBED) commented on Recordings 89-91: “It's been 20 years since the first recordings on this CD were made. Last summer three middle aged guys sneaked into an old rehearsal space in Edsbyn, Sweden. They shared a quart of rum and played old school death metal all night. That night I felt it all coming back to me. The excitement and the all out exhilarating fury of playing in a death metal band. I felt alive. I felt like a kid again.”
Recordings 89-91 features extensive liner notes from Säfström in addition to an introduction from Tomas Lindberg (AT THE GATES, DISFEAR). This collection is available on CD and a limited run of LPs.
Recordings 89-91 is set for a November 16th international release, and is available for pre-order at this location.
