Gorement – The Ending Quest LP (Purple Splatter Vinyl)

Gorement – 'The Ending Quest' LP

180g Neon violet, black & bone splatter vinyl edition in gatefold sleeve limited to 400 copies

Originally recorded in a mere two weeks in 1993, The Ending Quest stands as a rare gem in the history of Swedish death metal. Despite its raw, unrefined brilliance, the album was initially somewhat overlooked, fading into obscurity for many years. That was until Century Media Records brought it back into the spotlight with their 2012 anthology, Within the Shadow of Darkness, which not only included the album but also covered all of the band’s demo recordings. The album’s intense, gritty sound captures the essence of early death metal, with heavy, down-tuned guitars, guttural vocals, and pounding rhythms that laid the foundation for much of the genre’s future. Tracks like “The Ending Quest”, “Stench of Rot”, and “Submerged in Sin” exemplify the raw energy and chaotic spirit that made Swedish death metal legendary.
