It's a short release (as many demos are), clocking in at a mere 20 minutes, but it's a great introduction to Blasphemy and bestial metal if you haven't heard it yet.

Blasphemy - Blood Upon the Altar (Demo 1989)
Blood Upon the Altar is the very first release from one of the most highly regarded black metal bands to ever come out of Canada -- if not the entirety of North America! The precursor to war metal and bestial [black/death] metal, Blasphemy play raw, fast black metal that also happens to have amazing atmosphere. Their full-length album, Fallen Angel of Doom usually receives the most attention, but BUtA is not to be ignored. Compared to FAOD, it's much less atmospheric and focused on speed, aggression and power. It's also the birthplace of the most heavily covered black metal songs (next to VON or possibly Bathory, I can't think of a track more covered than "Ritual") of all time.
