Sinister members Aad Kloosterwaard (drums / vocals, Ron van de Polder (guitars / vocals) and Entombed bass player Lars Rosenberg (also in Therion and Serpent later on) wanted to play extreme and fast death metal / grindcore together. During that 1991 tour they wrote some brutal tracks, rehearsed several times in Roterdam and recorded the legendary 'Ripping Terror' 6 track demo at "Dynamo", Rotterdam, Holland on March 12-15, 1991. Great coverart by Roberto Toderico (Asphyx, Soulburn, Mefisto). Remastered by Tom Palms (Phlebotomized) and Acro Wolf (Temple ov Decibel). 6 tracks eco digipack!
