Their debut-EP \"Misanthropy\" from 1987 is a thorny gem of uncompromising thrash metal, raw and fast, and with a strong feel of evil blackness. This first official release laid the base for Protector's reputation as \"Germany's most brutal band\", as some people called them. Protector Really Some band from some far out place in Lower Saxony It's true, Protector never rose to the same heights of fame as Kreator, Sodom and the likes, but back in the days, they made a name for themselves by playing not only fierce and sharp thrash metal, but always being extremely harsh, brutal and very very evil. \"Misanthropy\" is a perfect testimony for this: In it's six-tracks-brevity, Protector's debut-EP is a violent attack on the listener, giving you six razor sharp cuts and leaving you behind, crushed and bleeding. \"Misanthropy\" was recorded in the summer of 1987 at the White Lines Studio in Braunschweig. While the band's main influences at that time were Slayer's \"Reign in Blood\", Possessed's \"Seven Churches\" and Exodus' \"Bonded by Blood\", \"Misanthropy\" actually sounds like none of these albums - but very unique; In part this is due to Martin Missy's extraordinary extreme vocal performance, which always bordered on the verge of death metal growls and thus added a lot to Protector's very own way of evil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMisanthropy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Holy Inquisition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Agoraphobia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Mercenary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kain and Abel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Holocaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Protector of Death\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Apocalyptic Revolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"GOODTOGO GMBH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44592386605277,"sku":"4251267706488","price":22.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/4232322-3020072.jpg?v=1727274051"},{"product_id":"protector-excessive-outburst-of-depravity","title":"Protector- Excessive Outburst Of Depravity (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeither viruses at large nor, on a shorter scale, flighty musical trends can stop Protector. In fact, it seems that the thrash veterans have been delivering the goods in a more consistent fashion than ever since their official reformation in Sweden under their original name in 2011. Band leader Martin Missy tends to agree, seeing his troupe just as strong as it was in the late eighties. \"I think all the different line-ups were on the same level, only this one has been together for a longer time than any other - 16 years to be exact, if you want to include what we did under the banner Martin Missy and the Protector's.\" Which leads us to the Teutonic-Scandinavian unit´s new effort \"Excessive Outburst of Depravity, \" sounding as unmistakably Protector as the creative process was business as usual in an ideal sense. \"Everybody wrote riffs on their own, which we then played to each other and turned into songs. I wrote most of the lyrics, but Mathias contributed four, too.\" Speaking of the bass player´s tunes, ´Shackled By Total Control´ has socio-critical undertones whereas ´Pandemic Misery´ is the only track on the album dealing with the plague that is Corona. At the funny end of the spectrum, closer ´Morse Mania´ harks back to ´Caught in a Morse´ from Martin´s 2007 demo with Talion. Beyond that, the WWII-inspired ´Referat IV B 4´ (\"National Socialism was the worst thing ever for Germany and Europe as a whole - never forget!\") and the sinister crawl of ´Open Skies And Endless Seas´ are classic Missy fare, showing the shouter´s unabated interest in mankind´s often belligerent history. And while the pitch-black ´Toiling in Sheol´ follows hot on the heels of \"Summon the Hordes\" (2019), the epic melodicism of ´Cleithrophobia´may come as a mild surprise. \"I am afraid of getting closed in, \", the front man confesses. \"That´s also why we´ll never be able to perform outside of Europe.\" Nevertheless, \"Excessive Outburst of Depravity\" will enthuse thrash maniacs worldwide thanks to Protector´s sheer down-to-earthness. \"I am actually very happy with our current situation\", Missy concludes. \"We release an album every three years while staying with our jobs and families. It´s a good arrangement for all of us.\" High Roller Records, transparent beer coloured vinyl, ltd 500, 425gsm heavy cardboard cover, lyric sheet printed on uncoated paper, poster, A5 photo\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High Roller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005405683933,"sku":"4251267712274","price":38.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4149036-2903963.jpg?v=1727248708"},{"product_id":"protector-the-heritage-splatter","title":"Protector- The Heritage - Splatter (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHigh Roller Records, reissue 2023, swamp green w\/ white \u0026amp; doublemint green splatter vinyl, ltd 250, large poster (740x420mm), insert, remastered for vinyl by Patrick W.
