Minotaur

MINOTAUR was formed back in summer of 1983 by 3 young musicians from Hamburg / Germany. The band decided to play really fast and aggressive Metal like bands as Slayer , Dark Angel, Possessed, etc. After a couple of line-up changes MINOTAUR entered the studio in 1986 to record their first Demo "The oath of blood" which got pretty good reviews European wide and was also voted for the 7th best Demo in 1986 by the German "Rock Hard" fanzine. MINOTAUR became more professional and they were asked to put a song on the Teutonic Invasion Part I sampler released by Roadrunner Records. After getting really good reviews again MINOTAUR decided to release a self financed and produced album in 1988. This LP was limited on 2.500 copies which were sold after a few months (re-release on CD in the 90's). Encouraged by the success of the shows MINOTAUR decided to record a few new songs. Soon they got in touch with the Hamburg Indie label Remedy Records and a new 7" inch single was released in October 1990 with the two tracks "Towards my eternity" and a demo classic "Total decay". This follows very successfully Gigs and Tours with Torment, Drifter (CH), Melissa, Procyon, Helstar, Hades, Viper (Ger), Rage, Invocator, Vendetta,Onkel Tom, Samael, Sabbat (UK), Betrayer (Ger), Gorefest, Risk, Riff Raff, Holy Moses ...
