Note that this bootleg is also referred to as "Drowned" due to the cover. Supposedly pressed by Unisound, this "bootleg of a bootleg" is a normal CD-press of the CD-R Mastercult Records released. The real CDs have a thick white border around the cover art, and have font and layout changes compared to the CD-R. This seems to be the only Nihilist bootleg on a regular CD. There are Nihilist CD-Rs floating around such as "Drowned In Shreds of Autopsy" which have extra live stuff, but do not contain the early Entombed material.

Tracks 9-11 were recorded during the "Drowned" session.

The "But Life Goes On" demo is listed in the booklet track breakdown as being from 1990.

Tracks 15-18 are from the Entombed "Live!" Mexican bootleg 7". Tracks 15-17 are live in Holland, Nov. 11, 1990, and have breaks between them. Track 18 is a '90 studio recording.

The pictures above are of the front and back of the booklet; the cover is a negative of the "Drowned" demo artwork, and the backside has the artwork from "Radiation Sickness."

Tracks 1-14 have now been made officially available on the Nihilist "1987-1989" CD.


Gods Of Grind On Tour
Live Europe 1992, "Gods Of Grind" Tour
Is This Music? ITM NR 107903
Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies
Given tracklisting: Correct tracklisting:
1. Intro 1. Intro
2. Living Dead/Shreds of Flesh 2. Living Dead/Revel In Flesh
3. Stranger Aeons 3. Stranger Aeons
4. Crawl 4. Crawl
5. But Life Goes On 5. But Life Goes On
6. Evilyn 6. Evilyn
7. The Truth Beyond 7. The Truth Beyond
8. Drowned 8. Drowned
9. Left Hand Path 9. Left Hand Path
10. Supposed To Rat 10. Supposed To Rot
11. Sinners Bleed 11. Sinners Bleed

No location is mentioned, but simple German like "Danke" and "Auf Wiedersehen" is used in the otherwise English stage banter, so it's obviously a German-speaking country (a member of Atrocity is also thanked in the intro to "Evilyn"). I think Johnny mentions the location in the stage banter at the end of track 2, but I can't make it out. Pretty good audience recording coupled with an excellent track selection from before they went downhill musically.


The Truth Beyond
March 19, 1992, Het Paard, Den Haag (The Hague), Holland (probably not correct!)
Northwind Productions 001
Given tracklisting: Correct tracklisting:
1. Intro 1. Intro
2. Revel In Flesh 2. Living Dead/Revel In Flesh
3. Stranger Aeons 3. Stranger Aeons
4. The Life Goes On 4. Crawl (partial)/But Life Goes On
5. Evilyn 5. Evilyn
6. Dusk 6. The Truth Beyond
7. Drowned 7. Drowned
8. Left Hand Path 8. Left Hand Path
9. Supposed To Rot 9. Supposed To Rot/Sinners Bleed (part 1)
10. Sinner's Bleed 10. Sinners Bleed (part 2)

I was quite excited to get this, but it turns out to be a much less desirable version of the same gig from the "Gods of Grind On Tour" bootleg above. The sound between the two is the bit different; here there's a definite loss of crispness and sharpness of sound. For example, you can't really clearly hear individual audience members talking between songs as you could with the "Gods of Grind..." bootleg. There are also breaks between tracks 3/4, 7/8, and 8/9, and on this bootleg you only get to hear the last few seconds of "Crawl."

I'm still confused about the Holland location of this bootleg. From listening to the stage banter, it's clear typical German words are being used (and Atrocity are still mentioned). So unless for some reason Johnny was using Deutsch instead of Dutch, I seriously doubt this is from a gig in Holland.

This boot is supposedly limited to 777 copies. There's a space on the back insert for hand-numbering, but I've never heard of or seen a copy that was actually numbered. While the packaging and look is much nicer, this is a totally worthless bootleg if you already have the "Gods of Grind..." CD above. The only advantage is that this CD seems slightly easier to find.
