After a long and quite tragic hiatus, the previously shelved 2017 recording originally titled Monolith (which I still think is a far better title) is finally upon us.

The Run Out Groove 30th anniversary edition expands the album to 3LPs and includes bonus remixes and a few unreleased tracks plus an exclusive poster. This is the first vinyl release of the album in North America.
