Description:
I received this radio promotional copy when I worked in radio. These were not available to the public and generally had pressings in the hundreds, so there are relatively few of them in existence. 
Never played any and they have been stored away for over 30 years with lots of other unplayed vinyl I held onto. The record is mint.

1988 Capitol Records

A very underrated thrash band. Rigor Mortis is from Texas and were contemporaries and rivals of Pantera, also from Texas. Although Rigor Mortis didn't stand at the top of 1988, they are now considered to be one of the best thrash metal bands that came out of that year. The 90s killed off the band. Lead singer Bruce Corbitt died in 2019.
Condition:  Vinyl: 12 inch mint & unplayed and in new condition in original plastic sleeve. Never removed from sleeve. Cover: Has light wear on parts of cover, from 30 + years of storage in my home. See photos for type of wear on cover.
About the song: Demons will introduce you to the brutal vocals of Bruce Corbitt, reminiscent of Sacred Reich and Nasty Savage but a little darker.  Bruce Corbitt is an absolute maniac on the vocals throughout the song.
Welcome To Your Funeral is a whirlwind of shredding from Mike Scaccia. Songs like this are absolutely what create, mold, and inspire headbangers. Menacing, monolithic, and merciless, Corbitt is the command behind the assault, directing Scaccia's out-of control, blistering, screaming guitars, Harden Harrison's frenzied, unhinged drumwork, and Casey Orr's concrete, impenetrable basslines from victim to victim, targeting the very core of your cerebrum and setting it ablaze. 
This is very hard to find on vinyl.
