Southern Lord Announces RSD/Black Friday Reissues

Southern Lord is proud to announce two essential 80s hardcore/metal/punk reissues arriving as part of RSD/Black Friday; the debut album from the ultra-cult 80s' Bay Area Thrash band: Sacrilege B.C. and the debut from the Southern California hardcore punk band Virulence. Both records were originally released by the legendary Alchemy Records label. (RIP Victor Hayden).

Southern Lord present a limited edition vinyl version of the debut album from the ultra-cult 80s' Bay Area Thrash band: Sacrilege B.C., containing the 1985 demo pressed on vinyl for the first time.

This RSD exclusive Black + White Vinyl version will be released as a double LP with a silk-screen etching printed on side D. Liner notes are written by Ron Quintana, also including an eight-page comic book/liner notes.      

Arguably one of the best ever thrash albums to ever come out of the Bay Area, the album was produced by Mark Deutrom (Melvins, Clown Alley) and is perfect for fiends of: Exodus, Metallica, Possessed, Vio-lence.

Southern California hardcore punk band Virulence was originally formed in 1985, heavily influenced by Black Flag, the Melvins, & BL’AST!. After the bands demise in 1990 the members reformed under the familiar moniker: FU MANCHU.

The debut and sole release by Virulence If This Isn’t A Dream... is an exercise in slow, crushing minimalism and is a very worthy induction into the chapter of early heavy music recordings.

For RSD Southern Lord present an exclusive White Vinyl version. Order here.
