This test press is limited to 5 copies only.

This LP has a generic Temple of Mystery test press cover and does not come with inserts.

For those unfamiliar with test presses, they are what we use to test the LPs before pressing the whole batch. They are always the best sounding because stampers wear out as more copies are being pressed. The test pressings are the first pressings made with those stampers!

The revenue made with selling this test press will be used to pay upcoming record pressing fees. Thanks for supporting Temple of Mystery Records!

Originally recorded in 1982 during the NWOBHM movement, Pagan Altar’s debut album, Judgement of the Dead, is a timeless classic of macabre heavy/doom metal centered around magic, witchcraft, and the occult. This holy grail album is one of the purest, most magical records that were ever written, and had a tremendous influence on the heavy/doom metal scene.
