ABSU "The Temples of Offal / Return of the Ancients - 35th Anniversary Edition" CD

This definitive edition commemorates the origins of one of the most visionary and historically significant forces within United States death and black metal.

The recordings have been newly remastered from the original cassette/DAT sources to augment their sonic impact while preserving the rawness and primordial energy characteristic of the original sessions; no contemporary sterilization has been applied, only an amplification of their ancient power.

New cover artwork, evoking the occult essence of the early period, has been created by Monica Mey. Layout and design responsibilities were undertaken by Equitant and Francesco Gemelli, ensuring a presentation commensurate with this milestone.

Remixing and remastering were performed by Equitant at Agurak Studios, accompanied by detailed liner notes authored by Proscriptor. Production is limited to 500 LPs (gatefold edition: 250 black vinyl and 250 grey vinyl) and 500 CDs, each accompanied by a sixteen‑page booklet containing lyrics, photographs, and original artwork by Equitant.

The ancient temples thus ascend once more…
