On October 21st Century Media Records will release “Transgressing The Afterlife – The Complete Recordings 1988-2002” – an anthological release of ABRAMELIN, Australia’s once greatest death metal band. ABRAMELIN were founded under the moniker ACHERON in Melbourne in 1988. Within ten years (1990-2000) ABRAMELIN have released one demo, two EPs and two albums, all of which have become highly sought-after rarities by now. “Transgressing The Afterlife – The Complete Recordings 1988-2002” now compiles the songs of all the band’s official recordings as well as numerous unreleased tracks. The entire audio material has been carefully remastered from original sources whilst the band has contributed tons of unseen photos. Andrew Haug has done a detailed interview with ABRAMELIN’s main guys Simon Dower (vocals) and Tim Aldridge (guitars), giving you a deep insight into the band’s history as well as into the Australian metal scene in general. “Transgressing The Afterlife – The Complete Recordings 1988-2002” will be released as a 3CD and 5LP, both with extensive booklets, reworked artworks, new layouts and a total of 46 tracks of merciless Aussie Death Metal with an overall playing time of more than 230 minutes!

Watch out for the vinyl version which will be limited worldwide to a one time pressing of only 1000 copies!
