Dismemberizer — Rehearsal Tape - 88 (1988, Sweden)

The mythical first rehearsal tape from Swedish gods Dismember, back when they were still called “Dismemberizer“. (I guess the “izer“ was too long.) Erik Gustafson of Therion plays bass on this recording, his only recorded contribution to the band. There is some truly great material on here, sadly they never re-recorded any of it as far as I can tell. Tracklist: 1. “Tormented Souls“ (0:00) (Listed as “Slaughter Ceremony“ on my copy.) 2. “Prince of Darkness“ (3:41) 3. “When Oceans Boiled“ (7:31) 4. “Invisible Trust“ (11:17) Personnel: David Blomqvist — Guitars (Credited as “Dave“) Fred Estby - Drums (Credited as “Fred“) Erik Gustafson — Bass (Credited as “Tex“) Robert Sennebäck — Vocals (Credited as “Rob“)
