Description
Formed in Tokyo in 1987, ZENI GEVA reached a turning point on 1991's 'Total Castration', the first album recorded and engineered by their lifelong friend and collaborator Steve Albini.
Never before available on vinyl and extensively restored and remastered, 'Total Castration' is where one of rock music's most ferocious and uncompromising partnerships began - a landmark in heavy music laid to analog tape.
'Total Castration' is available on 24Hz GOLD Color Vinyl and comes complete with a collectible, double-sided Footlong OBI. A limited run, pro-duplicated CDs in Digipack Lite packaging is also available, as is an ULTIMATE EDITION Bundle that brings together the CD and Vinyl. The Ult-Ed and CD will include FOUR additional tracks – the ZENI GEVA side of 1992's long out of print split album with LEWD - recorded live at 20000 Volts Tokyo. These tracks offer a glimpse into a largely unheard period of the progressive metal powerhouse, as ZENI GEVA take a psychedelic turn under the driving dual drum (!) attack of EITO and YASUKO.
