180g black vinyl LP pressing. Lyric/photo insert and large poster included. Slayer's awesome debut. The album is packed with wild riffs and high-pitched screams that are not normally associated with the thrash scene.
Abhorrent Rapture showcases the band in the more immediate and intense MLP format. Four tracks in roughly eighteen minutes of pure savagery but always with that eerie mood, creeping melodic sense and grisly intimidation essential to proper death metal.
Never released on vinyl in the US before, "A Predator's Portrait" is the third record from Sweden's Soilwork. Originally released in 2001 "A Predator's Portrait" was fundamental in defining the sound of the second wave of melodic death metal.
"This is the sound followers of Full of Hell have come to expect. Merciless, fast, blasting, noisy, and loud. It's harsh grinding death at its finest, and at one track in, already a fitting follow-up to Trumpeting Ecstasy."
-Metal Injection
Tirelessly seeking out the light in seemingly overwhelming darkness, the Midwestern post-hardcore group balances soaring melodies with unrelenting metal and emotional heaviness.
For their third album they have written some cool heavy riffs and more melodic tracks to put together a collection that has peaks and valleys that make for a great drinkin’ and singin’ album.
