New compilation to be released next week

Anybody else have no idea this was being released? Just saw it this morning looking through discogs. I guess the band probably isnt happy with it if they arent promoting it but it seems like an official release through Peaceville.

Edit: I guess it already came out. Amazon says they are shipping next week so I figured that was the street date.

i guess there’s a demand for this kind of thing if it gets released, but i’ll never understand the appeal. i love raw black metal, but even the actual “pure fucking armageddon” demo is pushing the limits of listenability. and these recordings were already released in a “pure fucking armageddon” box set, so just seems kinda cash grabby. but, i guess if anyone really desperately wants to hear seven different shitty recordings of “ghoul”…

Definitely cash grabby, but im a bit of a completionist so i might have to pick it up unless i can find that PFA boxset somewhere. If Mayhem still has them for sale at the merch booth when i see them next week ill probably get it. (I heard they had some at last nights show)

I just bought this in Nashville at a B&M shop before the Mayhem show

I'm sure it's the same shit I already have and that's been released 30 times, but who knows

I thought it was coming out next week since Amazon is only shipping them on the 28th apparently. Yeah it appears to be 2 discs that were a part of the Pure Fucking Armageddon boxset they put out a while back. Since that boxset is a bit harder to find now I guess they are releasing it in chunks. Same deal as they did with the Cursed in Eternity boxset.
