We’re thrilled to announce the 25th Anniversary CD reissue of HYDRA VEIN's "Rather Death than False of Faith" and their classic demo "The Reptilliad," brought to you by DARK SYMPHONIES / THE CRYPT! Regarded as one of the greatest thrash albums of the 1980s, HYDRA VEIN emerged in 1987 with brothers Damon and Nathan Maddison, ex-members of Deathwish, at the helm. Often hailed as the UK's answer to Slayer, HYDRA VEIN received rave reviews from the metal press but never gained the exposure they deserved—until now.
This CD reissue stays true to the original 1988 vinyl release, featuring the original cover artwork, band photos, and lyrics. We've carefully mastered the audio from the original analog sources, ensuring that the dynamics and atmosphere of the original recording are preserved. Approved and endorsed by the band, this is the definitive version of this thrash classic, guaranteed to be the best-sounding release yet.
As a special bonus, we're including HYDRA VEIN's 1987 demo "The Reptilliad" on CD for the first time ever. Prepare to be captivated by one of thrash metal's hidden gems, now reborn with the quality and respect it has always deserved. |
