Hells Headbangers has announced April 29th as the release date for two early, seminal CENTURIAN releases: the band's Choronzonic Chaos Gods debut (1999) and the preceding Of Purest Fire demo (1997).

Choronzonic Chaos Gods is a veritable vortex of chaos magick executed with military precision. Centurian at this stage could accurately be described as death metal, but the ever-cyclonic, ever-coiling whirlwinds unleashed by the band take on a form more supernatural than physical. As such, Centurian's debut album found much favor with the black metal faithful at the time, as well as those who held hope for a flagging death metal scene; not for nothing was it released by the esteemed Full Moon Productions label.

Tracklisting:

'Damned And Dead'

'The Law Of Burning'

'Hail Caligula!!!'

'Misanthropic Luciferian Onslaught'

'Let Jesus Bleed'

'Blood For Satan'

'Soultheft'

'Cross Of Fury'

'In The Name Of Chaos'

The very aptly titled Of Purest Fire, Centurian's introduction to the world is a veritable conflagration of occult energy and seared-black death metal battery. Although the band would find acclaim in the metal scene with their subsequent debut album, Choronzonic Chaos Gods, it was here with Of Purest Fire where Centurian were at their rawest and most hungry, not to mention their most blackened, with cult covers of early MORBID ANGEL and INQUISITOR underlining this point in no uncertain terms; not for nothing was it later released on CD by the esteemed Full Moon Productions label.

Tracklisting:

'Intro: Evoking Demonstorms / Hell At Last'

'Soultheft'

'Blasphemy' (MORBID ANGEL cover)

'Better Off Burning'

'God Got Killed'

'Of Purest Fire'

'Damnation For The Holy' (INQUISITOR cover)

'Outro'
