Deathwish - Demon Preacher (1989)


A nice little record(their second) from these Brit thrashers. Enlivened all the more by the respectable cover of Sabbath's 'Symptom Of The Universe'. Deathwish emerged at a time when the UK thrash scene was being well represented as the likes of Acid Reign, Slammer, Hydra Vein, Toranaga, and Re-Animator hit the scene. I was quite a fan of this kind of band, championing such efforts among local friends who were more interested in Iron Maiden. 'Demon Preacher' isn't the most riveting of records, but it's the kind of record you just take for what it is, a solid, straight forward thrash album with a slightly obscured vocal delivery.


6.5/10
