Heavenwood – Swallow
For the first time ever on vinyl!!!
Crystal Scarlet 2LP – Double Gatefold Vinyl 12”
[Limited to 100 Numbered Units]
It
is a profound honor for us to once again be entrusted by Heavenwood to
bring another landmark album to vinyl for the very first time!
Prepare
for a meticulously crafted, upscale re-edition of this iconic record—an
essential collector’s piece and arguably one of the most ambitious and
significant releases to date by Larvae Records.
All vinyl
variants are housed in an opulent fat-spine gatefold cover, featuring a
high-relief engraved design, enhanced with a glossy UV spot finish,
creating a striking, tactile, and visually dynamic effect that elevates
this vinyl into a true collector’s treasure.
‘Swallow’ was
originally released in 1998, featuring guest appearances from Liv
Kristine [Theatre of Tragedy] and Kai Hansen [Gamma Ray / Helloween].
That same year, Heavenwood made history as the first Portuguese metal
act to perform at the legendary Wacken Open Air Festival, playing to an
expansive crowd of fans from around the world. Following this milestone,
the band embarked on extensive European tours alongside acts such as
Atrocity, Solitude Aeturnus, and Saviour Machine.
Praised as a true
sensation in leading metal publications—including Metal Hammer, Rock
Hard, and Terrorizer Magazine—Heavenwood’s early work cemented their
place as pioneers of the Portuguese metal scene.
