FAQ

What does “New & factory sealed” mean?
The record is unplayed and still in the manufacturer’s original shrink wrap, so it carries no Goldmine grade.

Is this the original pressing?
No. The album first came out in 2004. This record is a limited 2022 European reissue on violet vinyl.

What is the album known for?
It is more melodic than its predecessors and includes quieter, largely acoustic songs such as Circle and Vermilion Pt. 2. The singles Duality and Before I Forget are still live staples; Before I Forget won the 2006 Grammy for Best Metal Performance.
