THE BEAST

ThrashBack Records  is pleased to announce that on June 17, 2022 we will be releasing, on Limited Edition CD, the sole 1991 demo from the Mesa, AZ based thrashers  L.V.I. (LOUD VERBAL INSANITY) .
 
Formed in 1987,  L.V.I . quickly became a fixture in the explosive Arizona Metal scene, sharing the stage with the likes of  Atrophy ,  Sacred Reich ,  Tynator  and  Alowicious Toole  at such legendary clubs as The Mason Jar, Desperados and After the Gold Rush.
 
In 1991  L.V.I.  would issue their sole demo,  "Mentally Embalmed" , garnering strong reviews and selling hundreds of cassettes locally. The band would garner label interest, but as was too often the case, would disband before a contract would be signed and an album could be unleashed.
 
This 2022 reissue has been remastered from the best band supplied sources by  Rob Colwell  at  Bombworks Sound , new cover art was handled by  Sidjimbe Art Studios  and a brand new interview was conducted with bassist  Fred Barringer  by  Chris Forbes  of the legendary  Metal-Core Fanzine . CD is packaged in a jewel case with a 12-page booklet packed rare archival photos. CD is limited to a one time pressing of 300 copies worldwide.
 
During the pre-order period we're giving you  three   additional ordering options in the form of  Arizona Metal Bundles .  You can view / select these bundles from the  Option  drop down on the order page.
