inferi - the path of apotheosis

the last of three inferi vinyl releases which was definitely the most elusive but not the most expensive. it was one of the artisan era records vinyl releases that were unavailable here in good ol' europe due to scarce distribution. i still struggle to get copies of the spawn of possession re-issues which artisan produced. just like the zenith passage record, i bought this in a lot from the same seller from latvia.
the records arrived here in fantastic condition. love these mailers with corner protection. musically this is another slab of fast, technical and melodic death metal that ticks all the right boxes with me. of course, there is a strong black dahlia murder resemblence, but i don't care if it is executed that damn well. re-mastered version sounds really good and the über lovely colour pattern makes this release a scorcher. hope i can catch them live in december. 125 copies made on "tyrant" vinyl. the artisan era. 2018.
