Eldritch Rite released their one and only demo in 1986.  By way of the tape trading underground, this tape made its way around the world and into the hands of metal fans as far away as South America and Eastern Europe.  The songs on this demo portray a young band with heavy and technical aspirations.  In a bit of high praise, one German fan has even proclaimed Eldritch Rite " one of the most underrated bands of the Texas metal underground".  Listen to clips from this tape below and read our exclusive interview with bassist Steve Murphy here.
