MORBID SAINT INFO:
This is the original cover art for Spectrum of Death. I am not sure why they opted for the Eddie-like demon, which adorns the current release of Spectrum of Death. This cover looks much better. Perhaps the artist who painted it wanted too much $$ for it:
Before "Spectrum of Death" was released by Avanzada Metallica in 1989, the recording was released as a demo entitled “Lock Up Your Children” in 1988. Here is a photocopy of the cover art of the original cassette-only demo release. The cover was drawn by Jay Visser’s sister, and were hand colored red and green by band members. This demo was limited to only about 200 copies, all of which sold quickly in Milwaukee, Sheboygan and surrounding areas in WI.
Here is the photo that accompanied the original release of the “Lock Up Your Children” demo tape. From left to right: Tony Paletti – bass/vocals, Jay Visser – guitar/vocals, Pat Lind – lead vocals, Lee Reynolds – drums/vocals, Jim Fergades – guitar/vocals
Here are some flyers from some of the more notable Morbid Saint shows. Metal Fest III in Milwaukee, WI was definitely one of the biggest shows ever performed by Morbid Saint, sharing the stage with such bands as Nuclear Assault (who used Morbid Saint’s Mesa Boogie stacks instead of their own amps), Death, Acrophet, Obituary, and Sick Of It All!
Here’s a ticket stub from what I thought was the most awesome concert ever performed by Morbid Saint: The Ultimate Revenge II Tour with Death and Dark Angel!
Here are some more flyers I had in this old scrapbook:
This is a copy of an interview with Morbid Saint that appeared in Razorwire News fanzine in 1990. The interview took place during Metal Fest III at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI shortly after the release of “Spectrum Of Death”.
