HOUR OF 13 (USA) - Salt The Dead: The Rare And Unreleased (new 2XLP copy; not sealed) (2017) - Double Clear w/Black Smoke vinyl.
 SHADOW KINGDOM RECORDS is proud to present a long-overdue demos &
 rarities collection from thee immortal HOUR OF 13, appropriately titled
 Salt The Dead: The Rare And Unreleased. Across this massive 
collection, one will find HOUR OF 13's very first steps into Doom Metal Godhood, alongside alternate recordings of fan favourites.
  
Listening to Salt The Dead: The Rare And Unreleased,
 it becomes quickly apparent that something truly special was being 
birthed upon the band's first recorded notes. The first half of this 
collection - or sides A and B of the double-vinyl edition - comprise 
demos recorded in 2007. The first three songs were the very first 
written by HOUR OF 13 in November 2006 and then recorded not long after;
 the next five songs were recorded nearly a year later. 
Together, these 
eight songs would form the foundation of the band's now-classic debut 
album, released by SHADOW KINGDOM as Hour of 13. Although 
recognizably HOUR OF 13, these early demo versions of the debut album's 
songs have slightly different arrangements while others have slightly 
different vocals, but every single bit of the band's trademark 
atmosphere is plentiful and poignant. Verily, this is the sound of 
lingering incense and burning blood.  
As founder Chad Davis states in the liner notes to Salt The Dead: The Rare And Unreleased,
 "This album documents the times and tribulations that had shrouded HOUR
 OF 13, the early days of rejuvenation along with the dark days of 
contemplation, and serve as a testament of an entity capable of 
withstanding any obstacle in its path." So far, the definitive HOUR OF 
13 collection - and the Cvltest. Praise Him and enter the abyss!  Shadow Kingdom Records – SKR125DLP
