Maelstrom

Maelstrom were formed in Zaragoza, Spain in the late 80s, being one of the first death metal bands in the country. They recorded two demos, Resting in the Pantheon (1990) and Augury of Decline (1992). In October 2025 we released the ultimate band’s compilation, including both demos professionally transfered, restored and mastered by Patrick W. Engel. Just as important, the vinyl version included a massive 76-page booklet created after a year and a half worth of work unearthing tons of pictures, flyers, posters, ‘zine interviews… and compiling a Spanish-written biography of the band from total obscurity. We also released official Maelstrom t-shirts for the first time. As a label based in Zaragoza, we are more than proud to keep their legacy alive. You can find all releases and merch below.

Into the Maelstrom...

Equinox Discos is proud to present the album that compiles the two demos of this legendary band from Zaragoza, Spain. Maelstrom were formed in the late 80s and were pioneers of death metal both locally and nationally. This release finally does justice to their legacy. Additionally. the vinyl version also includes an incredible 76-page booklet. You’ll be able to find the band’s history, dozens of photos, posters, tickets, flyers, press appearances, and much more. 

The audio quality is the best this material has had to date. Resting in the Pantheon (1990) was taken from the original cassette. Meanwhile,  Augury of Decline (1992) was taken from the original DAT master. Patrick W. Engel of Temple of Disharmony transferred, restored, and mastered both recordings. As a finishing touch, the album is presented with a spectacular cover by Juan Alberto Hernández that unites the concepts of the original art of both demos. This is the definitive embodiment of Maelstrom’s unique augury.
