The classic Sadistic Intent EP, Ancient Black Earth, originally released in 1997. 25th anniversary version with lots of bonus tracks, so it’s more like a compilation.

The compilation also includes their classic covers of “Return to the Eve” (Celtic Frost), “Necrophiliac” (Slayer) and “The Exorcist” (Possessed). Deluxe gatefold sleeve, with an inverted cross printed in the inside pocket. It includes a double-sided lyric insert with retrospective notes by Rick Cortez.
