THE CRYPT PRESENTS: A DAY OF DEATH...

All 3 LP sets will be available at the same time, so combined shipping will apply for pre-orders!

AS SERENITY FADES (Fin): Earthborn + Lowering Sunset / AUGUST MOON (Fin): Rosegardens Official Gatefold 2 LP set (CRYPT18)

After much anticipation, finally for the first time ever on Vinyl, we proudly present the lost Finnish gem "Earthborn" by AS SERENITY FADES plus the cult "Lowering Sunset" demo tracks as well as the ultra-obscure demo "Rosegardens" from AUGUST MOON featuring AS SERENITY FADES members Tom Henriksson and Peter Viherkanto.

Strictly limited to a one-time only pressing of 500 hand-numbered copies, 200 sets will be on 180 gram heavy black vinyl while the other 300 will be on 180 gram heavy silver vinyl. These killer slabs of wax come housed in a 350 gram, semi-gloss printed, triple gatefold jacket featuring the original classic "Earthborn" cover painting by Saku Lumivirta, as well as the original "August Moon" cover painting by Markku Mäkelä that was never used. LP one will feature the AS SERENITY FADES MCD + Demo material whereas LP 2 will feature only the AUGUST MOON "Rosegardens" demo and will be pressed at 45 RPM for optimal sound.

The 2LP set features lyrics, classic interviews, new liner notes from members of both bands and exclusive band photos. In addition the layout uses original elements just like the original CD release by Adipocere Records, for complete attention to detail - even down to the typeface.

Included in all 500 copies is a luxurious 24" x 36" (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) poster of the Saku Lumivirta cover painting.

ANTROPOMORPHIA (Hol) Necromantic Love Songs + Bowel Mutilation Official 2LP Set (CRYPT19)

Making it's vinyl debut, The CRYPT is proud to resurrect the obscure masterpiece of blistering old school Dutch death metal ANTROPOMORPHIA - "Necromantic Love Songs". This 1993 sledgehammer of brutal death metal never gained the recognition it deserved, so we are pleased dust off this classic and offer it once again on glorious wax!

Also included is the Bone-Crushing "Bowel Mutilation" demo. Both of these death metal gems will be released as a beautiful double LP set in a luxurious reverse board printed triple gatefold jacket complete with original artwork from both releases. This killer set features an amazing old-school layout by the band's own Ferry Damen with lyrics for both releases, new liner notes, classic unpublished band photos and Ferry's own original illustrations from the 1993 CD booklet.

Rather than cram 50 minutes of music on 1 LP resulting in inferior sound, reduced volume and low end, this release is mastered onto two separate 180 gram LPs for the best audio fidelity possible! Both vinyls will be pressed at 45 RPM on heavyweight, 180 gram virgin vinyl for optimal sound. Limited to a one time pressing of 500 hand numbered copies, 200 will sets will be on classic black wax and 300 will be on pink / dark red marbled "Chunks of Flesh" colored vinyl.

This monument of death metal wouldn't be complete without a luxurious 24" x 36" (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) poster featuring the classic early 90's T-shirt design: http://www.darksymphonies.com/thecrypt/antroposter.jpg

A CANOROUS QUINTET (Swe) As Tears / The Time of Autumn Official LP (CRYPT 20)

For the first time on vinyl, THE CRYPT is proud to announce that we will release the complete discography on LP format from melodic Swedish Death Metal act A CANOROUS QUINTET. Formed in 1991, they released the "The Time Of Autumn" demo followed by their debut MCD "As Tears" and two full lengths; "Silence of the World Beyond" and "The Only Pure Hate". Although not as well known and many bands in the Swedish Death Metal scene, ACQ features members from such prominent acts as AMON AMARTH, NIDEN DIV. 187, OCTOBER TIDE and GUIDANCE OF SIN. The band then split-up in 1999. In 2005, they reformed under the name The Plague (Swe), but later changed their name to This Ending. Although short lived and underrated, A Canorous Quintet stands amongst the best Death Metal acts in the history of Sweden.

Strictly limited to a one-time only pressing of 500 hand-numbered copies, 200 sets will be on 180 gram classic black vinyl and 300 on Magenta vinyl. These amazing slabs of wax come housed in a 350 gram, semi-gloss printed, gatefold jacket featuring the original As Tears cover artwork, lyrics, new extensive liner notes by Linus Nirbrant and Mårten Hansen, and exclusive band photos. In addition the layout uses original elements just like the original MCD release, for complete attention to detail - even down to the typeface.

In addition to the classic 1995 MCD, this LP features the "Time of Autumn Demo" taken from the original dat recording.

Included in all 500 copies is a luxurious 24" x 36" (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) poster of the As Tears cover artwork.
