REVENGE death sentence FL07

Greek Speed Metal Fury: Revenge’s ‘Death Sentence’ (FL07)

Today’s entry brings us to the underground metal scene of Greece. We are looking at the 2009 limited vinyl edition of Death Sentence by the band Revenge, released on the Greek label Floga Records with the catalog number FL07.

Old School Speed Metal Revival

Revenge is a Greek band dedicated to the raw, unpolished sound of 80s speed and heavy metal. Originally released on CD earlier in the same year, this vinyl edition gives the album its proper analog home. The band’s style is a high-octane tribute to the early days of the genre, drawing clear inspiration from bands like Motörhead, early Running Wild, and Venom.

The Music

The track titles alone tell you exactly what to expect: pure, beer-soaked metal mayhem. Side A features the aggressive Vengeance Of Hell and Metal Massacra, setting a furious pace. Side B continues the assault with the alcohol-fueled anthem Beer Maniacs and the blistering Speedkiller. The album closes with the epic-sounding title After The Storm Of Rage And Steel, cementing their dedication to the “true metal” aesthetic.

Collector’s Details

Floga Records, a label known for unearthing and supporting underground metal, pressed this album specifically for the collector market.

Limitation:
The pressing was strictly limited to just 500 copies worldwide, making it a somewhat obscure find outside of the Greek metal scene.

Release Date:
While the album material surfaced earlier, this specific vinyl edition was released in late 2009.
