A long-lost relic of Eastern European extreme metal resurfaces in definitive form, as F.O.A.D. Records present a newly remastered edition of FANTOM’s seminal demo material, now available on vinyl.

Remastered by Patrick Engel, this upgraded version captures the raw essence of one of Hungary’s earliest and most obscure black/thrash entities, often regarded as even darker and more sinister than their contemporaries.

This official reissue includes the band’s classic 1987 demo Lucifer jelenj meg!, now expanded with 7 additional tracks taken from a rare 1987 session not featured in the previous 2016 vinyl edition. The material has been re-transferred from a rediscovered tape – the best sounding source in existence – and meticulously remastered for vinyl by Patrick Engel at Temple Of Disharmony.

Drawing influence from bands such as Bathory, Possessed, Hellhammer, Venom and Slayer, FANTOM forged a primitive yet highly distinctive sound. Their songwriting is direct and unrefined, but steeped in a uniquely oppressive atmosphere of darkness, malevolence and occult tension.

The release comes as a silver laminated LP, including two inserts featuring lyrics, rare photographs and original artwork, preserving the band’s visual and sonic identity in full detail.

Watch the trailer HERE.

A crucial document of early black/thrash from behind the Iron Curtain: raw, obscure and essential for collectors and devotees of the genre’s darkest origins.

On Episode 15 of 50 Shades Of Slaids we caught up with Joey Vera of Armoured Saint who are about to release their 9th studio album ’Emotion Reset Factory’ on May 22nd via Metal Blade Records.

‘Emotion Reset Factory’ is a must for all Armoured Saint fans as the band continue to evolve their sound and style taking in their collective influences and have created an eleven track record that stays true to the sound and style of the band, along with a few twists. All I can say after a few listens is that it won’t disappoint.

We talk the writing process of the record and how Vera handled producing the record. Vera has always been heavily involved in the pre-production and final production of Armoured Saint records. This time he almost considered handing the record to someone else to produce. It goes without saying but we dare ask the question of an Australian tour behind this record. 

Sit back and enjoy The Rockpit’s chat with Joey Vera of Armoured Saint.

Head to the Armoured Saint website and socials and pre order your copy of ‘Emotion Reset Factory’ today.
