SACRIFICIAL (Den) Forever Entangled + Demos Official 2LP set (CRYPT 45)
The Crypt is proud to announce our cooperation with Danish label TRECHOMA RECORDS to unleash for the first time on vinyl, the classic 1993 debut album from Danish Death Thrash legends SACRIFICIAL "Forever Entangled". Also included will be the "Lords of Torment" demo as well as "Forever Entangled" rare demo and rehearsal material! Sacrificial was formed in 1990 by the brothers Kræn and Lukas Meier. In the beginning the band was inspired by death metal bands like Morgoth. Later on the inspirations would be more thrash oriented, but always accompanied by a death metal-esque edge. Limited to 500 hand numbered copies, 200 copies on 180 gram black vinyl, and 300 copies on 180 gram red / yellow marble vinyl.
Having been long out of print for years and fetching outrageous prices online, we are proud to offer this amazing piece of history once again, and on glorious wax format. Spread over 2 audiophile quality LPs and carefully mastered for vinyl from the original dat tapes, we present this bludgeoning death thrash classic in a 350 gram gatefold jacket featuring the original cover artwork, new liner notes from the band and Trechoma Productions label manager Morten Nissen, tons of classic band photos, classic flyers and a huge 24" x 36" poster featuring the killer cover artwork! Prepare for a hammer to the face!!!
