This week's old demo tape is from Dark Decade, these guys were a symphonic Black/Doom band from Nossen, Saxony in Germany. They started out at some point as Nuctermeron but went by this name from 1992 - 1997.
They had 2 demos in their time "...And the Sun is Shining Black" from 1993 and "In the Land of Disgrace" from 1995 which is the one I have in my collection.
Recorded and mixed at "Brückhaus Audioproductions".
Produced by Jens Eisbein, Michael Heidereich & Dark Decade on 5./6. March '95.
Lunatic Aggressor went on to join Nuctermeron, I am unsure if this has any connection to the original name of Dark Decade or is just a coincidence. They have an EP from 2016 called "Knights of Hell"
