🔥 The Birth of a Death Metal Classic!
Experience the sheer brutality of Pessimist's cult debut, Cult of the Initiated! Originally released in 1997, this LP Gatefold edition, presented by Season of Mist, resurrects one of the most punishing underground death metal albums of the '90s. Combining sinister Morbid Angel-style riffing, rapid-fire drums, and a suffocatingly dark atmosphere, this is an essential slab of blackened technical death metal for collectors and die-hard fans.
With unrelenting blast beats, menacing tremolo-picked riffs, and a thick, unholy production, Cult of the Initiated delivers a merciless assault on the senses. Tracks like "Let the Demons Rest" and "Drunk with the Blood of the Saints" showcase an ominous mix of thrash-fueled aggression and dissonant, eerie leads. Meanwhile, "Dungeonlorde" and "Innocence Defiled" deliver bone-crushing breakdowns and nightmarish solos.
This vinyl edition features newly restored artwork and a full-color gatefold sleeve, making it the definitive version of this underground masterpiece.
