A combined album and EP review
The archived PyroMusic retro-review covers Morbid Visions / Bestial Devastation as a combined release. It is signed Spiritech. The old page’s shared year field reads 1985; the original album and EP need separate dates when describing their release history. [1]
Morbid Visions: keep the album and EP distinct
Rhino’s official catalog article identifies Morbid Visions with 1986 and Bestial Devastation with 1985. Its combined-release listing places “Morbid Visions”, “Mayhem”, “Troops of Doom”, “War”, “Crucifixion”, “Show Me the Wrath”, “Funeral Rites” and “Empire of the Damned” before the EP material. [2]
The historical PyroMusic reference points to retro-review 82, attributed to Spiritech. This new record background concerns the original Sepultura release; a later Cavalera rerecording should be identified separately.
The historical PyroMusic review
The surviving original review is signed Spiritech and carries a score of 5.6. It discusses Sepultura’s early recordings as a historical document, while weighing the performances and production against later releases. This is a summary of the historical reviewer’s assessment, with the original rating identified as such. [1]
