Brand new / unplayed copy of this very rare and controversial split LP between USA's black metal cults NACHTMYSTIUM and LEVIATHAN.  There was a dispute between the artists when this was in production, and Leviathan's Wrest started making claims that the release "had been canceled", but the label was well into production and had paid for everything many months before these claims started circulating, and had also paid the artists each a large advance for the release, so they forged forward with the pressing as to not lose thousands of dollars in production costs.  The label did however scale the pressing back from 500 LP's to a mere 100 units on black vinyl, due to the spat and wanting to try to make everyone happy without losing more money over something stupid.  

This copy is #030 / 100, hand-numbered.  It's pressed on thick black vinyl, includes an 11x17" folded promotional poster, a circular (4" in diameter) embroidered "Never Stop The Madness" campaign patch, a 2.75 x 4.0" Leviathan logo patch (white on black) and a 3.0 x 4.0" Nachtmystium logo patch (white on black - the bands original logo too, btw)  Very nice package all around.  Jacket is thick stock and printed in full color with a matte finish.

Both bands contributed cover songs by similar / the same artists they'd both been highly influenced by and had covered over the years, as this split is (as the title states) 'an ode to the roots'.
