Metal Demo of the Day - Black Witchery

I went a little nuts for these guys when Desecration of the Holy Kingdom came out in 2001, scooping up everything I could find, including some live VHS, and this, their first cassette demo, released in 1997 under their original name Witchery.

Their sound is no less arresting, a black-metal jackhammer dance, with killer riffs and a clear reverence for 80s thrash. Like Darkthrone, if you forced them to take cheap speed, drink even cheaper beer and live in a suburb of Orlando. This clip is a pretty fair representation of Black Witchery's urgent delivery, though the audio is poor:
