VITAL REMAINS' SECOND STUDIO ALBUM OF SATANIC BLACKENED DEATH METAL.

Vital Remains formed in 1988 in Providence - Rhode Island. Their influences included acts such as Celtic Frost, Venom, Bathory, Sodom & Mercyful Fate, often lending the band's sound a slightly more black metal edge on occasion compared to their peers. The band was signed to Peaceville Records for 2 albums; 'Let Us Pray' & 'Into Cold Darkness' & is still a highly-respected force in the death metal world today.
'Into Cold Darkness' was the band's second studio album & was originally released in 1995. Resuming the brutal metallic assault established with 1992's 'Let Us Pray', Vital Remains continued to evolve & establish their brand of blackened death metal & firm anti-christian stance with an album of arguably even more ferocity, aided by the generally higher tempos & inspired & intense riffing. With an air of satanic death metal running throughout, the album also contains cover versions of the classic black metal tracks 'Dethroned Emperor' originally by Celtic Frost & 'Countess Bathory', by UK metal legends, Venom.

This edition of 'Into Cold Darkness' coincides with the album's 30th anniversary, and is presented on CD format including 8 page booklet with full lyrics.
