Earlier this year in 2025 we secured the rights for two more Vengeance Rising reissues and we started to work on a killer edition of the Anthology title. Only weeks after we got started on this project we would learn of the untimely passing of Roger Martinez, and that immediately had us pause on the release. After debating back and forth we decided we should continue with this one, but with a twist. We quickly decided that we needed to make this one a tribute to Roger Martinez. Anthology is being reissued and remastered for the first time ever, with a few improvements! Remastering has been done by Rob Colwell (Coroner, King's X, Nevermore, Helstar) and includes a reordering of the tracks from the original pressing all in chronological order. In addition this pressing includes a beautiful new layout and design by Scott Waters (NoLifeTilMetal Graphics) commemorating Roger Martinez. This Limited edition vinyl pressing will be limited to 200 pieces on 140g Opaque Blood Red colored vinyl with a beautiful 4 panel insert. The CD version will be a jewel case edition with a 16 page booklet. Both packages will include full lyrics and many new write ups exclusive to these pressings. Write ups from Pastor Bob Beeman and many more friends and band members.

This marks the first time the 1992 classic album is available on vinyl, bringing a cornerstone of French thrash metal to collectors and fans worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormed in 1990 after the dissolution of Drifter, Capharnaüm was founded by guitarist Laurent Lahierle and bassist Pascal Gregoire, who set out to pay homage to thrash metal titans like Possessed, Slayer, Dark Angel, and Kreator. Joined by Laurent's brother, Olivier Lahierle, on drums, the trio crafted a raw, aggressive sound that captured the spirit of the era. Their early rehearsals, initially backed by a drum machine, evolved into a tight, dynamic unit that began performing in Orleans, quickly building a local following. In 1991, Capharnaüm recorded a four-track demo that garnered attention from fanzines, radio stations, and even the specialized metal press. A unforeseen encounter with journalist Louis Bourgade (R.I.P.) at a Dark Angel concert in Paris led to a feature in the inaugural issue of Metal Attitude magazine, boosting the band's profile. The demo's success fueled regional tours alongside diverse acts like Les Thugs and Mercyless, cementing Capharnaüm's reputation in the French underground. The band's self-produced debut album, released in November 1992 on CD with a limited run of 600 copies, featured eight original tracks plus the 1991 demo recordings as bonus tracks. Lauded by critics, the album earned glowing reviews in Metal Hammer France and an unexpected nod from rock magazine Best, a rare feat for a thrash metal release. Despite outreach to major labels like Nuclear Blast and Roadrunner, the band's uncompromising style didn't align with mainstream trends, making this vinyl reissue a long-overdue celebration of their legacy. This limited edition vinyl, meticulously remastered for optimal sound quality, includes the eight original studio songs specially composed for the album, offering fans a definitive version of groundbreaking work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":46961805328625,"sku":"SRRD472.1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2151\/5265\/files\/4442422-3417477.jpg?v=1758747487"},{"product_id":"avralize-liminal-brown","title":"Avralize - Liminal (Brown Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLost Realm Records proudly presents LAST STAR FIGHTER - DEMOS \u0026amp; LIVE, an essential new release for all die-hard fans of Medieval Steel and classic U.S. Metal!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not just another reissue.

Originally recorded in 1992 as a promotional tape and released on CD in 2018 through our label, this rare cassette is now available on vinyl for the first time, bringing a crucial yet overlooked chapter of the band's history to fans old and new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe early '90s marked a turbulent turning point for Damien. After the success of Every Dog Has It's Day and Stop This War, the band was riding high with MTV airplay, critical praise, and headlining gigs across the Midwest. A deal with High Tide Management, sparked by Black Oak Arkansas singer Ruby Starr, signaled bigger prospects. However, their label's inexperience with metal acts led to delays, no tour support, and mounting tensions with management. Despite attracting crowds of over a thousand fans and sharing stages with acts like Flotsam \u0026amp; Jetsam, Chastain Anvil, internal strife and label disputes threatened to derail Damien's momentum. In 1989, the departure of vocalist Randy Mikelson, who pursued a solo project, left the band in a deadlock. Damien ends up recruiting Troy Moore for the vocal duties. Moore's higher vocal range introduced a fresh dynamic, but it polarized some fans, at a time when grunge and alternative metal were beginning to dominate the scene. With no label backing, the band recorded seven tracks in Moore's basement, dubbing a few hundred cassettes to sell at shows. These Candle Of Life sessions, limited to roughly 100 copies, sold out quickly but failed to reignite the band's spark, remaining shelved for nearly three decades. This vinyl release celebrates Damien's resilience and the raw energy of their transitional era. Candle Of Life captures a band defying the odds, delivering some of their most compelling yet least-heard material. A must-have for all die-hard Damien fans and metal collectors alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":46961805525233,"sku":"RPLE266.1","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2151\/5265\/files\/4456431-3455909.jpg?v=1758747505"},{"product_id":"stone-nomads-empires-of-stone","title":"Stone Nomads - Empires Of Stone","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOut now.

The Albany, New York outfit cultivates a heavy atmosphere and melodic depth, stripping away emotional armor and calloused defenses to reveal something raw and defiantly honest. The band's new album, And Everything Was Dark, serves as both a mission statement and a bold leap forward. Since 2016, Downswing has steadily evolved into a powerhouse of modern metal and groove. The group's current incarnation emphasizes big choruses, bigger breakdowns, atmosphere, and emotion. Downswing consists of Seanor, guitarist Anthony Salvaggio, bassist Chris Arnold, and drummer Nick Manzella. Created with a focus on clarity and impact, And Everything Was Dark builds on the sonic foundation of their earlier work while boldly venturing into new territory. Gargantuan riffs and breakdowns intertwine with massive hooks, textures, and lyrics that resonate deeper than ever before.\"For What It's Worth\" is a bleak outburst of betrayal, confusion, and emotional fallout. \"Too Little Too Late\" and \"Glass House\" explore the record's central themes: what it means to lose someone you love, the toll of addiction and selfdestruction, and the slow, painful process of letting go. Downswing isn't just evolving.
