FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes, it is the 2016 first edition on black 180 g vinyl, numbered PRO 190 LP. Prophecy reissued the album on vinyl in 2020.

What does 180 g mean?
It refers to the weight of the record. 180 g vinyl is thicker and heavier than a standard pressing, so it sits more steadily on the platter and is less prone to warping.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that hardly affect the overall impression. On the sleeve this refers to some wear on the top spine. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more records in this style?
Yes, more post-metal and metal is in our Metal collection.
