Immortal Instant

Description

SWEET CHEATER was founded in 1983 in the city of Bremen, in northern Germany. The band was influenced by current trends like Metal Church, Metallica, Helstar or Fates Warning as well as by typical old heroes (Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin, etc.). After a demo (part of which can be heard on this CD), the new label Flametrader (Demon, Savage Grace, Cancer, Siren, etc.) offered a recording contract and the first album "Immortal Instant" was recorded at HGM studios (Black Fate, Siren, Dissidenten, etc.). The result was not only well received by fans, but also received very good reviews - which was already something special for a German band not dedicated to thrash in 1986! Unfortunately, the line-up disintegrated before reforming, albeit under the new name Secrecy. After further line-up changes, they finally managed to release an acclaimed album ("Art In Motion") via Noise Records in 1990, followed by "Raging Romance" (Noise Rec., 1991). The only album by/as SWEET CHEATER has unfortunately often been illegally released on CD in recent years. Guitarist Mick Sebastian and Golden Core therefore did their utmost to make this reissue worthy and definitive. This includes a perfect overdubbing with audio cleaning by Patrick Engel (Metal Blade, High Roller, etc.) and a respectful remastering by Neudi (Manilla Road, Griffin, Blues Pills, Avatarium, etc.). The 20-page booklet includes liner notes (interview with Mick Sebastian) and lyrics, as well as numerous rare photos and illustrations.
