It's a very good album. Perhaps this is not the most influential release in the history of the genre, but it is one of those quite distinctive works of the 90s, without which the genre would not be so rich. The old school with the whole arsenal of expressive means, yes, many bands played in this way, but forgotten cults have their own special vibe and charm. As a rule, after all the recognized cult works in Death Metal have settled on the shelf, there is an interest in deeper phenomena and a deeper echelon of performers. Deteriorate is the purest underground, paradoxically not lost in time and has received almost more demand now than during its active career. Anyway, thanks to the efforts of The Crypt, this album was first released on vinyl about 25 years after the CD was released, and more or less regular reprints are maintained.

This press was released without a bonus LP with a demo, but since the band's most interesting material is on the full-length album, it's even better (let's be honest - demo recordings are listened to much less often anyway, although the expanded edition is more expensive and more status). It was made simply and tastefully - a single jacket, a insert with lyrics and notes, vinyl, which this time is printed in four different colors. The "Oxblood" version is best combined with the design, the red cover is red vinyl, there's nothing to think about =) The vinyl is perfectly smooth, the mass is quiet, and the playback quality of my copy is perfect. Vinyl mastering is done carefully, analog breathing is felt throughout. This album was originally recorded very well, the attacking nature of the band's sound is captured in a very right way, so vinyl will give you something crushing.

According to the totality of impressions, it is the most worthy reissue of a very good album, recommended to all generations of listeners.
