Realm of Chaos (1989) is one of the defining albums of early UK death metal — a crushing, war‑torn masterpiece forged in the same era that birthed Altars of Madness and Left Hand Path.

This reissue delivers the album in its most iconic form: the Games Workshop–commissioned artwork, the original tracklist, and the dense, tank‑like production that made Bolt Thrower legends of the underground.

Recorded at Loco Studios and mixed by Colin Richardson, the album is a relentless barrage of grinding riffs, battlefield atmosphere, and Karl Willetts’ unmistakable roar. It remains one of the most influential death‑metal records ever pressed to wax.

Why Crimson Vinyl Stocked It

Because Realm of Chaos is a must‑own for any extreme‑metal collector — and clean originals are nearly impossible to find.

Modern reissues from Earache consistently sell fast at Perth fairs, especially anything tied to the classic Games Workshop era.

This is one of those albums that never sits on the shelf for long: essential, historic, and absolutely devastating on vinyl.
