Urtod Void pays tribute to the authentically crafted reissue by Nuclear War Now! Productions, Iron Bonehead Productions, and Ordo MCM with a release that preserves the original layout, enhanced only by minimal adjustments, and presented with red hot foil embossed sleeves, a poster, and an insert.
With The World Is So Good That Who Made It Doesn't Live Here, Mystifier delivered not only their shortest but also their most experimental full-length album. Asmodeus, known for his remarkable vocal versatility, added a theatrical edge that became central to the record’s character. Originally released in 1996 through Osmose Productions, the album received its first vinyl edition seventeen years later in a joint effort between Nuclear War Now! Productions, Iron Bonehead Productions, and Ordo MCM. The opening track, “Give the Human Devil His Due,” even found its way onto the Gummo soundtrack in 1997, exposing the band to an audience beyond the underground.
Although the shift in style initially surprised many die-hard followers, Mystifier’s lyrics took a more mature turn compared to earlier releases such as Wicca, delving into themes of self-transcendence and realities beyond the physical plane—far removed from the raw, hostile soundscapes of contemporaries like Sarcófago or Blasphemy. Bold in its departure from underground norms, this singular album stands as a testament to Mystifier’s creativity and enduring influence.
