About
Satanic Rites is the third and final demo tape by Swiss extreme metal band Hellhammer. It was recorded and distributed during December 1983. Along with Hellhammer's other release, it had a major influence on the emerging death metal and black metal genre. Satanic Rites later appeared on the compilation album Demon Entrails along with the two other demo, Death Fiend and Triumph of Death. Martin Eric Ain was fifteen at the time of recording Satanic Rite. The line-up of Hellhammer was constantly changing around this time. In the book Mean Deviation: Four Decades of Progressive Heavy Metal, the demo was described as "improved but still primitive". Three members of Norwegian black metal band Mayhem took their names from song titles from this release. Founder and guitarist, Euronymous and first two vocalists Messiah and Maniac. Tom Gabriel Fischer – vocal, guitar, bass guitar (uncredited) Martin Eric Ain – bass guitar, backing vocals Bruce Day (Jörg Neubart) – drums .
