TRANSFER INFORMATION
“This Too Shall Pass” has been transferred using outboard devices from the Type IV master cassette sent to Sound of Pig in 1988. No digital editing was applied to this recording. Side B is of a greater length than Side A, causing an extended portion of silence and tape hiss after the conclusion of “A5 - Helltrain”. This has been preserved to maintain the running order of the original tape release.

Black Lucifer Rising

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth

The sound of being incinerated by a heatwave. Feels like a concentrated beam of sand hits you in the chest, splattering grains like shrapnel. Amazing record. Fuck you, Adam Lehrer. I bet your podcast blows. phoebe}}}}}}}}}}}}
