undying - this day all gods die

holy mountain printing from the states finally re-issued two undying classics on colour vinyl. as i already have a 'the whispered lies of angels' first press, i just bought the actual first vinyl pressing of their demo 'this day all gods die'. thankfully house of devarishi from germany had distro copies which spared me the agony of oversea shipping. 500 copies pressed. 1999/2024.

suffocation - souls to deny

suffo's comeback full length from 2004 and return to relapse records. the label finally re-issued the album in an amount adequate for the demand. 1050 copies made. relapse records. 2004/2023.

not as good as 'realms...' but a worthy successor. crushing osdm the way i like it. green slime vinyl out of 2899 copies. relapse records. 2023.

elder - gold & silver sessions

not the elder release with the most play time on my set but their compositions are always worth my while. blues funeral records. 2019/2022.

nocturnus - thresholds

not as highly regared as 'the key' among fans but to me equally as good. 'thresholds' is an early tech death pearl and sounds great on this blue vinyl copy out of 300 copies. earache records. 1992/2023.

decapitated - winds of creation

essential re-issue on nice yellow vinyl out of 300 copies. awesome debut by this polish powerhouse. earache records. 2000/2023.

end - the sin of human frailty

new, highly anticipated album of hardcore band end from the states. really digged their previous efforts but with this one... i don't know. i'm not 100% cool with the heavier dose of electronic sounds here. top notch presentation, though. 1.000 copies pressed on orange splatter vinyl. closed casket activities. 2023.
