Abrahel composed about 10 pieces, !!! , but they recorded only these 4 (plus the intro). in 1996 it was released their one and only demo, “Promo 1996“. the keyboards were added only in studio for the recordings, cause the band did not used any keyboards in the jamming sessions or in their really intensive live activity. the band played intensively many gigs in Emilia-Romagna. track 4 is instrumental, and always called by the band as “la marcia funebre“ (the funeral march) track 3 is about all the statues of bleeding marys of that time... track 1, in the end the voice is a prayer from “Radio Maria“, here distorted and profaned. a pity that they recorded only 4 songs instead of all their 10 songs full repertory...
