  Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

  • 
  The long awaited vinyl release of "Il était une forêt", considered by many fans one of the best Depressive Black Metal releases ever, comes with beautiful packaging that does credit to the band's brilliant art, both musically and visually.
  
  The gatefold cover is made of thick 350g cardboard, the printed inner sleeves of 280g board including lyrics & credits.
  Also included is an 8-page art booklet featuring a painting for each song, same as in the CD booklet but on a much larger scale and with no writings besides the title of each painting.
  The two different band logos, which have been created for this album, are included as weatherproof, transparent stickers of roughly 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm) size.
  The heavy, coloured 180g vinyls come with a large etched sigil on side D.
  
  After the 2018 repressing sold out quickly, the second repressing, out in April 2019 (this version!) also includes an A2 poster of the band logo. This edition comes on "moss green" vinyl, and is limited to 222 copies.

  LAST COPIES!!
  
  Reissue of this masterpiece under exclusive license from Sepulchral Productions.
  
  Gris' second album "Il était une forêt..." arguably is one of the best Depressive Black Metal albums of all time. The CD is one of the top sellers of the excellent Sepulchral Productions label and demand for it is still high more than 10 years after its initital release on CD - a dead sure sign of a classic. Originally released on vinyl through Northern Silence in 2009, the first pressings of this DLP now fetch prices among collectors of 100 Euro and more.
  
  A few years ago, due to the ongoing high demand for another vinyl pressing, it was decided to reissue the DLP with similar but not identical packaging, on different vinyl colours, and this time also including a poster. The initial re-pressings on crystal clear, bone coloured, moss green and sunset orange vinyl are all sold out now, too.
  
  So this is what you get this time:
  
  - 2x 12" vinyl limited to 333 copies on 180g violet vinyl
  - vinyl side D etched
  - gatefold cover
  - printed innersleeves
  - 8-page 12" booklet
  - two different logo stickers
  - A2 poster
  
  Includes unlimited streaming of Il était une forêt... via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. ... more
