Review: While Florida's Deicide are arguably still one of the most recognisable death metal acts in the scene, many (apart from avid devotees) might be shocked to learn that the vast majority of the group's albums, primarily their formative and quintessential Roadrunner releases, have received little to no vinyl pressings. Roadrunner Years is set to rectify this absurdity with a grandiose boxset, spanning from 1990-2001, and including the first worldwide versions of, 'In Torment In Hell', 'Insineratehymn', and 'When Satan Lives', as well as the first North American vinyl releases of, 'Serpents Of The Light', and, 'Once Upon The Cross'. Limited, numbered, and complete with an exclusive poster, inserts, sticker-sheet, as well as a pressing of the infamous, 'Feasting The Beast' EP, which is regarded as the project that led to the band's initial signing with the illustrious label, few artists who boast such decrepit, blasphemous material rarely pull such a touching gesture for their listeners.

Review: The Black Sabbath Hand Of Doom box set provides the ultimate collection for fans who opt to live in a world where the group never had any other vocalist apart from Ozzy Osbourne. Providing picture disc represses of all eight LPs released during the original frontman's tenure from 1970 to 1978 (2013's reunion album 13 is not included), the collection boasts the self-titled 1970 debut, the same-year follow up Paranoid, as well as the iconic slew of Master Of Reality (1971), Vol 4 (1972), Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973), Sabotage (1975), Technical Ecstasy (1976) and Never Say Die! (1978). Limited to 3000 copies (which isn't a large amount when considering how vital Sabbath's early material still is to this day) and complete with a large coloured poster, fan service rarely gets as ideal or essential as Hand Of Doom.
