Description
Realm of Chaos, subtitled Slaves to Darkness, is the second album by British death metal band Bolt Thrower. It was recorded at Loco studios in April 1989 and engineered by Tim Lewis. It was mixed at Slaughterhouse Studios in July 1989 and engineered by Colin Richardson. It is produced by Bolt Thrower and Digby Pearson. The cover artwork was produced by Games Workshop. The whole album is closely tied to Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 game background and Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness was the title of a gaming book by Games Workshop released in 1988.
The album was released on Earache Records: Mosh 13 in 1989. In 2005 a re-issue was released by Earache, featuring new artwork. The band advises not to buy the re-issue, as they have not been involved and will not get royalties.
Realm of Chaos displays a progression from its previous output in speed and riffage. There is a strong focus on blast beats in many of the songs, with chaotic guitar soloing, common in grindcore. Nevertheless, the signature heavy riffing is also apparent. Thus, this is usually considered a death metal album.

All my record sales are posted in Lil Packaging stiff mailers which I find very reliable. I have sent these overseas, eg to the US, with no problem. If you want me to put the stiff mailer in a 350mm x 350mm x 80mm box for extra safety I will do it, but these cost me £4 each so please add that when you pay and let me know that is what you have done.
Please note if bidding. I no longer have a record player so cannot play test any of my vinyl. I look at the condition before listing anything but cannot guarantee that there will be no issues with playability. Please bear this in mind if you decide to bid.
Postage
UK £6.00 (2nd class signed for)
International tracked and signed:
EU £13.00
Anywhere else £15.00
(note some countries, eg Chile, don't do tracked mail, only signed for. Also I cannot work out how to add 2 different international postage rates on eBay listings, so if you are EU you will get an invoice for £15 postage but just pay me £13)
I am selling off my whole vinyl collection so will have multiple auctions live. If you want to bid on more than 1 item then additional postage would be £3 per additional record (UK) and £5 per additional record for non UK.
