IMPIETY – despondent escstacies – RED 7”EP

Limited to 300 copies, all on opaque red vinyl.

HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present the cult demo of America’s IMPIETY, Despondent Ecstacies, on 7″ vinyl and cassette tape formats.

America’s IMPIETY was formed by guitarist Gene Palubicki and drummer Aantar Coates in 1991 in Tampa, Florida. Only there briefly, the band moved to Winona, Minnesota (Gene’s Hometown) and were joined then by guitarist Mark Tibor. The first proper demo of this death metal band was recorded shortly thereafter recorded on 4-track cassette, titled Despondent Ecstacies. Bass guitar was done by Gene on the recording. Only a very few copies of the demo were circulated among friends/zines/etc; the band never actually lasted long enough to perform any live shows and was basically finished by 1993. Aantar then moved on to new bands like Horror of Horrors and Diabolic while, a few years later, Gene was one of the founding members of the legendary ANGELCORPSE.

A perfect snapshot of the time and an intriguing puzzle piece for those who’ve followed Palubicki’s extensive work over the years – particularly PERDITION TEMPLE, MALEFIC THRONE, and BLASPHEMIC CRUELTY among others – this new edition of IMPIETY’s Despondent Ecstacies replicates the aesthetic of the original tape but is now enhanced with fitting art from Jenglot Hitam.
