FROM REDEFINING DARKNESS RECORDS: .
Originally released by Metal Blade Records on June 4th, 2002, God Was
Created breathed new life into U.S. Death Metal scene that had become
boring & stagnant and would lay the foundation for a new generation
of bands to come. No band had been able to successfully bridge the gap
between the more melodic European style and the more brutal U.S. sound
until this release. For the first time ever, Redefining Darkness
Records, will be releasing this spectacular album on wax in the form of a
Gatefold 2xLP !!!
500 2xLP
250 – Splatter
250 – Cloudy
“Gather round, I have a story for ye. Back in 2002, a Phoenix-based
death metal group called Vehemence released an album called God Was
Created, a work that escaped widespread popularity to essentially become
the little engine that could – a cult classic of the genre, if you
will. Far from conventional, Created had an odd sound that was melodic
without a hint of Gothenburg, preferring instead riffs that combined the
open-strummed hardiness of Arghoslent with the evocative melodies of
Intestine Baalism. More importantly, it showed a band tossing aside
genre conventions to let blossom
their bizarre vision and ambition. A concept album about a young man’s
fatal obsession with a devoutly religious schoolgirl, Created combined
acoustic strumming, sullen spoken word, and guitarwork that alternated
between demented and achingly gorgeous, all into an hour-long journey of
sexual Jesus fantasies and necrophilia.’
