Black/white/clear splatter vinyl in standard cover.

Background information about 'Ashen Existence'

Entropy have spent three decades as one of metal's best-kept secrets, and now their legendary debut finally gets the vinyl treatment it always deserved. "Ashen Existence" is the kind of record that makes you wonder how a band this good stayed so far under the radar for so long. Formed in Brampton, Ontario back in 1989 out of the ashes of Aftermath, these Canadians crafted a sound that defied easy categorization - technical, progressive, and unapologetically heavy, pulling from power metal, thrash, and death metal in ways that felt completely fresh even then.

The album is a masterclass in controlled chaos. Guitarist Aldo Arbitrante pulled double duty behind the drum kit with stunning results, while the rhythm section locked in with razor-sharp precision. From the neck-snapping grooves to the intricate, well-honed melodies, every track on "Ashen Existence" delivers something unexpected. The vocal acrobatics span a wide emotional range, and the songwriting twists and turns keep you on your toes from the opening riff to the final note. Tracked at the legendary Metalworks studio in September 1992, this is a record that the band believed in so much they destroyed all remaining copies of their demos upon its completion.

This re-issue on black/white/clear splatter vinyl marks the first time "Ashen Existence" has ever appeared on wax, making it an essential addition for collectors and a perfect entry point for anyone curious about one of thrash's most fascinating cult acts.
