VITAL REMAINSâ€™ SECOND STUDIO ALBUM OF SATANIC BLACKENED DEATH METAL. This edition of â€˜Into Cold Darknessâ€™ coincides with the albumâ€™s 30th anniversary & is presented on CD format including 8-page booklet with full lyrics.

Vital Remains formed in 1988 in Providence. Rhode Island. Their influences included acts such as Celtic Frost, Venom, Bathory, Sodom & Mercyful Fate, often lending the bandâ€™s sound a slightly more black metal edge on occasion compared to their peers. The band was signed to Peaceville Records for 2 albums; â€˜Let Us Prayâ€™ & â€˜Into Cold Darknessâ€™, and is still a highly-respected force in the death metal world today.

â€˜Into Cold Darknessâ€™ was the bandâ€™s second studio album & was originally released in 1995. Resuming the brutal metallic assault established with 1992â€™s â€˜Let Us Prayâ€™, Vital Remains continued to evolve & establish their brand of blackened death metal & firm anti-christian stance with an album of arguably even more ferocity, aided by the generally higher tempos & inspired & intense riffing. With an air of satanic death metal running throughout, the album also contains cover versions of the classic black metal tracks â€˜Dethroned Emperorâ€™ originally by Celtic Frost & â€˜Countess Bathoryâ€™, by UK metal legends, Venom.
