Ordained Fate

Ordained Fate is an early 90's female-fronted Christian thrash band. Pam Scott and Annette Cvengros met in high school. After meeting Marge, they put their band, Cryptic Axe, together. After numerous attempts at the band and going back and forth with their Christian walk, in 1990 Ordained Fate was officially born. Ordained Fate released a 7-song demo which gained them attention in the Christian Thrash Metal market. They would end up opening for bands such as Believer, Sacred Warrior and The Crucified and release this self-titled album in 1992 on Wonderland Records. Ordained Fate's debut album has been completely remastered and reloaded and now includes their original 7-song demo EP from 1990.
4 of the 7 songs from that demo, Midnight Exodus, Light Bearer, The Hunted and Temptation II, were not on any other album and only available on cassette until now.
Completely remastered with a 8 page booklet, The Ordained Fate debut album is straight up Thrash onslaught masterpiece that starts out with the heavy thrasher Let's Make a Deal ripping 4 minutes. Gethsemane the second song is a Black Sabbath like, and a crushing 6 minutes long with numerous speed changes and chord progression and slower paced dark feel, exactly what you would expect from a song called Gethsemane. It is also one of their more popular songs for all the right reasons. Holy Wars, Wonderful Love, Gold Cross and Tame the Tongue could have all found themselves on a DIO album as they venture into some power metal. Election, song 7 starts off fast and has a really great industrial intro with sampling from the a Presidential Inauguration, almost punk in nature think more like the Crucified. One of the Insane and No Death, the last 2 songs, merge together into one longer song, and ends the album as great as it started. Front to back this album contains 9 songs of crushing Thrash not really slowing down for much other than an occasional sample thrown it. It's furious and crushing for sure.
This remastered version also contains the original 7-song demo which includes 5 songs not on any other album. Originally recorded in 1990 and only available on cassette until now.
