Nocturnus - The Key Limited Edition of 2000 "Grindcrushing Splatter Vinyl"
From Wikipedia:
"The Key was the first full-length studio album from Florida progressive death metal band, Nocturnus. It was released on Earache Records in 1990 and was followed by Thresholds two years later.
The album, Nocturnus's debut, is a concept album centered on an Occult (the influence of drummer/vocalist Mike Browning) meets sci-fi (influenced by guitarist Mike Davis) theme. The story of the album follows a cyborg who goes back in time to the year 0 B.C. which eventually leads to the destruction of Christianity (highlighted by the controversial track "Destroying the Manger") and the creation of a modern empire.
In addition to their unusual lyrical content, the band employed the use of keyboards which was virtually unheard of at the time in the broader genre of death metal. The keyboards were generally used for song intros and more atmospheric purposes, however, and most of the album was based upon a more conventional guitar and drums approach.
Kam Lee of Massacre provided backing vocals."
The LP itself has one very light and hardly noticeable scratch mark on it but is otherwise in near mint condition, but due to this mark i've listed it as VG+ The sleeve has the usual mild corner fraying and surface embossing that you might expect of such an old vinyl, but generally this has been kept on its shelf and isn't in bad condition at all.
I've tried to enhance a photograph slightly of the vinyl itself to show off the "splatter" effect, but it's quite hard to make out in photos and is quite subtle in the flesh, but it's basically a white disc with some pink bloody splatters throughout.
Overall, this is a cracking album and a nice Item in general.
Happy Bidding!
