Poltergeist Re-Issuing "Nothing Lasts Forever" Through Divebomb
Outside of Celtic Frost and Coroner, the average metal head in the ‘80s probably couldn’t name a heavy metal band from Switzerland to save their lives. But for underground fiends the world over, Poltergeist was always a thrash group that deserved more attention that it got during the band's first time around the block.
Forming in 1987, Poltergeist signed with then upstart label Century Media Records after releasing two demos. Their partnership led to the release of two obscure thrash albums: 1989’s "Depression" and 1991’s "Behind My Mask."
As the international metal scene’s tastes shifted in the early ‘90s, Century Media pressured Poltergiest to change styles and fit into the death metal realm. Instead of cowering to the label’s demands, the band remained focused and crafted what would become 1993’s "Nothing Lasts Forever." Despite the artistic triumph the album became, the band broke up in 1994 after one last tour with fellow countrymen Coroner.
Divebomb Records is thrilled to present "Nothing Lasts Forever" in a special deluxe edition reissue coming June 23rd. The liner notes contain archival photos and features a new interview with Poltergiest founding member V.O. Pulver conducted by Carlos Ramirez of NoEcho.net.
