Judgement Day where a band from the Netherlands that played a mixture of death and thrash metal in the beginning but started playing more brutal death emtla towards the end and this is a review of t heir 1994 album "Circumcision Of The Martyr" which was re-issued by Vic Records in the year of 2013 and also contains their 2000 ep "Gothcrusher".
"Horror Pain" begins with some sound effects and spoken word samples and a minute later heavy guitar and bass riffs start coming into the song along with some drums which lead up to some death metal growls and screams as well as the guitar riffing utilizing some melody before bringing in guitar leads that come in and out of the song and halfway through the song bass leads are added in certain sections bringing an early technical death metal feeling to the song as well as mixing in some blast beats. and towards the end the guitar leads start getting a lot more melodic sounding.
"Daily Rituals" begins with some heavy guitar and bass riffs along with some blast beats and a small amount of guitar leads before the growls start kicking in which also leads up to some melodic guitar riffing and screams as well as mixing in both slow and fast parts and towards the end there are some primitive solos being utilized.
"The Old Tree" begins with some melodic guitar riffing before getting heavier and adding in some bass guitars and drums along with some melodic guitar leads before getting faster and adding in blast beats, growls, and screams while also slowing down in certain sections of the song and as time moves on by there is a brief use of melodic female clean singing vocals as well as classical guitars being added in certain parts.

"March Of The Apocalypse" begins with some dark and heavy sounding guitar riffing and drums and the song is all instrumental with no vocals being present.
Song lyrics cover dark and metaphysical themes, while t he production has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording along with some of the songs being very long and epic in length.
In my opinion Judgement Day where a very great sounding death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Horror Pain" "The Old Tree" "2012 AD" and "Final Judgement". RECOMMENDED BUY.
