THE BEAST

V/A: "A.R.T. Records Singles Series Vol. 2" - Reviewed By Rocka Rolla Web Zine ! Check it out here at this link: http://rockarollazine.blogspot.com/2021/04/va-art-records-singles-series-vol-2.html

And here we are with the second (and apparently last) volume, of the series "Records singles" that the Thrashback label is responsible for dusting one to know that chest, with 7" vinyl releases that at the time were to be released by Florida-based A.R.T. label, or with old cassette recordings that today finally see the light on CD.
And unlike the previous volume, here the thing gets rougher, since all the bands (with the exception of the Final Prophecy thrashers) are enlisted in the most extreme variants of death metal.
All bands are from the United States except the Australian Deracination, the latter greatly influenced by Napalm Death.
As I always say when I receive material of this type, here are the foundations of what we can hear today on a regular basis, so I recommend to all of you to get this album and continue to search the under. - Rocka Rolla Web Zine

RELEASE DATE: November 27, 2020

THE UNRELEASED... With this second (and final) volume, THRASHBACK RECORDS is pleased to bring you what was to be the second wave of 7” vinyl releases on the Florida based A.R.T. Records label. Three of these releases were splits with the concept being to present opposing styles within the Death Metal genre.

ROYAL ANGUISH / THE RISEN: This collection begins with two tracks that were exclusively recorded for the vinyl release. Florida versus New York style Death Metal is what’s on hand.

OBLATION / DERACINATION: Here we have Florida inspired Death Metal (by way of Texas) versus a Napalm Death influenced assault from Down Under. This version of “Death By Fire” was exclusively recorded for the 7” release and is far more brutal than the version on their debut album “Times Of Atrocity” that preceded it.

FAITHFUL WITNESS / MANSOUL: East Coast Death Metal versus a blend of Florida Death Metal and Megadeth inspired Thrash riffing.

FINAL PROPHECY: The sole non-split release. Both tracks are exclusive 7” remixes. These remixes were not included on the "Re-Awakening" released which we licensed to Roxx Records in 2018.

This 2020 reissue features all 4 titles in their entirety, fully remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound from the original DAT masters, and an 8-page booklet. This special release also features 2 bonus tracks, one each from Royal Anguish and Faithful Witness.

This special CD release is limited to a pressing of 300 units with only 270 units available for sale.
