RIPPED TO SHREDS (USA) - 亂 (Luan)" (new LP copy; not sealed) (2022) 2nd Pressing from Pulverised Records on Transparent Yellow vinyl - limited to 200 copies worldwide. 
 The chainsaw-doused RIPPED TO SHREDS return once again with the second conceptual full-length record “亂 (Luan)”, ten serrated tracks of galling, uncompromising Death Metal with labyrinthine structures; loosely based on an ancient Chinese war-themed folktale. 
 This album was originally released on April 17th, 2020.
With a fresh line-up consisting of Andrew Lee, Justin Bean (Trenchrot, Daeva, etc) and Tom Warrior (Obscure Transmissions, Death Fortress, Siege Column, etc), “亂 (Luan)” also features forward-thinking six-stringer Takafumi Matsubara (Gridlink, Retortion Terror, etc), Phil Tougas (Chthe‘ilist, Funebrarum, etc) and Horrendous axeman Damian Herring on guest guitar solos. 
“亂 (Luan)” truly bridges the gap between old and new Death Metal by incorporating an interesting twist to a closely guarded sound for decades.  --  Pulverised Records – ASH 173LP
