CIANIDE’s first two albums re-issue
Late March 2025

Rising from the depths of Chicago, Cianide released their highly proclaimed debut in  1992. Cianide’s second album "A Descent Into Hell."  is by many considered as their finest hour, Pure, doom death metal and after 30 years after its initial issue 1994's "A Descent Into Hell" is finally available on CD once again. Massive true death metal that Cianide has been delivering for almost forty years. The Dying Truth is Cianide’s debut, originally released in 1992 and now re-issued. This expanded edition shows the band at their most basic.  The Dying Truth is rudimentary in execution yet effective in the end, with doomed-down Hellhammer / Celtic Frost riffs. With their mixture of death and crawling doom, Cianide can be compared to Autopsy, mixed with Bolt Thrower. This re-issue comes with a complete new layout made from the original artwork, lyrics from all songs, band pictures, and last but certainly not extensive liner notes by Pim Blankenstein.
