Slightly damaged on the sleeve or one of its corners, nothing drastic but we know you guys are as maniacs as we are so it is discounted here, vinyl is obviously mint. It’s a brand new product.
The chainsaw-doused RIPPED TO SHREDS return once again with the second conceptual full-length record “亂 (Luan)”, ten serrated tracks of galling, uncompromising Death Metal with labyrinthine structures; loosely based on an ancient Chinese war-themed folktale.
With a fresh line-up consisting of Justin Bean (Trenchrot, Daeva, etc) and Tom Warrior (Obscure Transmissions, Death Fortress, Siege Column, etc), “亂 (Luan)” also features forward-thinking sixstringer Takafumi Matsubara (Gridlink, Retortion Terror, etc), Phil Tougas (Chthe‘ilist, Funebrarum, etc) and Horrendous axeman Damian Herring on guest guitar solos. “亂 (Luan)” truly bridges the gap between old and new Death Metal by incorporating an interesting twist to a closely guarded sound for decades.
Mixed by Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studio (Atrament, Extremity, Necrot, etc), mastered by Damian Herring at Subterranean Watchtower Studio (Blood Incantation, Suffering Hour, Witch Vomit, etc) and imposingly monumental artwork by Chinese artist Guan Yang (Infant Annihilator, Ritual Day, etc).
