August 1992 — Comecon released their debut full-length studio album, Megatrends in Brutality via Century Media Records. (Spotify)
Background:
Comecon was a Swedish Death Metal project founded in 1990. The band consisted of two guitarists, a drum computer and a session singer; a different one on each album.
Megatrends in Brutality featured Lars Göran Petrov on vocals, who was then dismissed from Entombed. It is the only album of the three Comecon releases to feature Petrov, as their vocal lineup revolved on for every release. Their second album featured Martin van Drunen (Asphyx), and Marc Grewe, from Morgoth handled the vocals on their final album. Megatrends in Brutality was produced by Tomas Skogsberg (as were the following releases), and was recorded at Sunlight Studio.
Contrary to the album credits, the drums were recorded using a drum computer; Anders Green who is listed as a drummer does not exist. The photograph shows an unrecognizable friend of the band. The order of the tracks on the album sleeve is wrong; the correct order is shown below.
Track Listing in Proper Order:
1. The Dog-days
2. Wash away the Filth
3. Slope
4. Teuton Tantrums
5. The Mule
6. Armed Solution
7. The Future Belongs to Us
