Continuing from our successful Vinyl On Demand releases as well as the cassette tape box sets from the likes of Carcass, Morbid Angel, Bolt Thrower and Napalm Death, we're now expanding this to include those albums from bands whose catalogue with Earache wouldn't stretch to a full box set release.

These cassette tapes will only be pressed if the targets are met by January 3, 2025. If the target is not met, all orders will be refunded.

Originally released in 1990, 2020 marks the 30th anniversary for this much sought-after debut album from the Florida Death Metal pioneers. 'The Key' is without doubt a classic debut album. Genre defying, enthralling and addictive. It laid the foundations for death metal today.

Pioneeriing the use of keyboard and themes of the occult mixed with Sci-fi. A concept album, The Key is entwined with occult/meets sci-fi and follows the story of a cyborg who travels back in time to assassinate Jesus Christ which leads to the destruction of humanity. Climaxing in the controversial track 'Destroying the Manger'.
