(Colored vinyl pressing from 2020, still sealed with indicating sticker.)
That's a cheesy 80s action shot on the cover, and the music within really carries through on that promise – from the starting cut "Black Inferno", which is a very groovy clubby sort of cut – to the more stark, keyboard-driven grooves from the brothers DeAngelis! The duo did ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
