'''''Bringer Of Evil''''' is the debut album by the Swedish heavy metal band Syron Vanes released in 1984. It was produced by Darryl Johnston.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Darryl+Johnston |title=Darryl Johnston Discography at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date= |accessdate=2014-02-03}}</ref> It was remastered 2012 with two bonus tracks added.

==Background== The album was recorded in record producer Darryl Johnston's studio.

The studio was located in Darryl's house in Kingston upon Hull in England. The record company Ebony Records<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/label/Ebony%20Records |title=Ebony Records - CDs and Vinyl at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date= |accessdate=2014-02-03}}</ref> was also located in the same building at the second floor. The album was recorded to analog tape and the final release media was on vinyl. All the songs were recorded in 5 days and was entirely played live in the studio as opposed to the more popular method recording each musician separately used today. thumb|center|Darryl Johnston and Anders Hahne in the control room As Anders Hahne (guitar) recalls the studio was very small. The recording room was the size of a medium living room and the control room the size of a small bedroom.

The album title was from the beginning "Born To Rock" but Darryl didn't like it so it was changed to "Bringer Of Evil". While the band was in the studio they witnessed the first order of 5000 album from a USA distributor.

The songs "Bringer Of Evil", "Suicide" and "Born To Rock" are still performed live to this day.

==Artwork== This is the only album featuring their original "Old English Gothic" logo, the kind used by the band until it changed in 1985. The old logo is still popular today as it appears on some merchandise as T-shirts and other items. The artwork is designed by Terry Greer and the snake symbolizes the S in '''S'''yron, while the two arrows together symbolize the V in '''V'''anes.

==Remaster== 2012 the band got contacted by Primo Bonali from the Italian record company [http://www.adrenaline.it/ Steelheart Memories].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Syron-Vanes-Bringer-Of-Evil/release/4276596 |title=Syron Vanes - Bringer Of Evil (CD) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date= |accessdate=2014-02-03}}</ref> He wanted to release the album on CD for the first time. There was an issue, because no one knew where the original tapes were stored. Rimbert did remember though that he gave his mother a copy in 1984 and he was sure it has never been out of its package. He was correct; it was completely untouched. The remaster is digitized from vinyl, so any cracks and pops are digitally removed. The album was digitally remastered and reissued 2012. The remaster have the same cover as the original vinyl but includes many unpublished pictures of the band during that era.

It also includes two bonus tracks: "Violation" from a compilation album the group appeared on in 1982, and a demo track from 1983 called "Steal And Run".
