Triple black vinyl set housed in a thick slipcase. Limited 600 copies

One of Holland’s first and finest death metal bands, Asphyx was formed in 1987 by then-Pestilence mainman Martin Van Drunen (vocals/bass), with Eric Daniels (guitar) and Bob Bagchus (drums). After a handful of demos to close out the ’90s, Asphyx signed with Century Media Records and proceeded to release a steady flow of albums and EPs, including 1990’s Mutilating Process EP, 1991’s The Rack, 1992’s Crush the Cenotaph EP, and 1993’s Last One on Earth. Now finally comes all those classic demos that lead to a deal with Century media as a delux vinyl box set with 3 lps, a 20 page booklet with lyrics, artwork by Ketola (Watain, Kaamos), introduction by Metalion (Slayer magazine), liner notes by the band, old flyer designs, a previously unreleased track, ‘Priest Of Mendes’. If you love death metal the old way then you know what to do.
