This is a monster release that's been in the works for almost 4 years now! I called Victor up when I first started the label in 2000, and asked him if I could put this out. It took us a WHILE, but in the end it's here and it rules!!!

The result is an LP of unreleased demos recorded through the years by Victor Griffin, a purveyor of the modern doom guitar sound!! His work in the bands PENTAGRAM, DEATH ROW, and PLACE OF SKULLS has been recognized worldwide as some of the heaviest, killer doom ever created! This LP contains demo material that had been circulating among fans for years and is now finally being committed to a more concrete form than a 10th generation dubbed cassette tape!

I can't put into words how excited and happy I am that this release! There are many original songs, some featuring Wino, and demo versions of PENTAGRAM classics. Also a few covers of classics by MOTORHEAD and the DEAD BOYS! The material speaks volumes, and the photos and liner notes provide the masses with a clear perspective on Victor's amazing career in music! Thanks to Chris for the amazing job laying this one out!
