DEATH Fate Vinyl Royal Blue Spatter RSD Release 1992

Chuck Schuldiner didn't invent death metal, but he spent a career rewriting it until it was barely recognisable, and that's exactly why people still lose their minds over anything with his name on it.

Fate is the 1992 compilation that pulled together early DEATH demos and rarities, a document of the band in its rawest, most feral form before the progressive turns of Individual Thought Patterns and Symbolic arrived to complicate things. This Record Store Day reissue presses it on royal blue spatter vinyl, which is the kind of format decision that makes sense when the music inside is this gnarly. Essential for anyone serious about death metal history, or anyone who wants to understand where the genre's ceiling was set.

12" vinyl, royal blue spatter pressing, RSD 2023 reissue of 1992 compilation. USA origin, Death Metal / Progressive Metal.
