V/A "IT CAME FROM THE ABYSS" LP (Dark Operative)

It Came From The Abyss: Volume 1 kicks off a new compilation LP series curated by Dark Operative. The first installment features an A-side that highlights bands that encapsulate the best that the underground metal and hardcore genres have to offer, while the B-side showcases some of the label's favorite instrumental, goth, indie, emo, and pop outfits of the past, present, and future. The program encapsulates a range of covers (Power Trip's take on Prong, The Dillinger Escape Plan channeling Black Flag, Highness turning in a Rorschach cover that conjures The Cure's "Pornography" album), first-time exclusives (a demo track from The All-American Rejects being heard for the first time ever, a previously unheard Bleach Everything track, a brand new song from This Will Destroy You), unearthed/long out-of-print material (Christie Front Drive's "Bag," Doomriders' "Hell Roaring," an Integrity track from their split with Gehenna), songs previously only issued in Europe (Iron Reagan, Black Mare), and a previously-unheard demo version of Grave Pleasures' "Doomsday Rainbow." Black Vinyl, Gatefold Jacket. New Condition, Not Sealed.
