Classic '80s metal albums "Seven Churches" by POSSESSED and "Bonded by Blood" by EXODUS will be re-released on vinyl in a limited edition of 500 copies via Monumentum Records. Both LPs will come in a gatefold sleeve and will include all the original photos and lyrics.

POSSESSED's lineup at the Gathering of the Bestial Legion III and at this year's Wacken Open Air festival is expected to consist of sole original member Jeff Becerra (vocals) backed by members of California's SADISTIC INTENT.

EXODUS entered Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, California on June 10 with producer Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, MACHINE HEAD, NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY) to begin recording their new album for a late 2007 release via Nuclear Blast Records. "Everyone always talks about how their next record is the next this or that, all I'm going to say is this next record is a crushing landmark in EXODUS history," guitarist Gary Holt previously said. "I am stoked. Truly. Man, this new shit is aggressive with a capital A! Thrash metal at its hardest."

Century media already did this a few years back! They reissued 7 churches in a limited edition of 500 with ADDITIONAL photos and stuff on the inner sleeve, on a dark pink / red vinyl. Still, you cant have too much 7 churches i suppose

Wow, it's a right "copy and paste from blabbermouth" kinda day isn't it?

That basically means the album will suck.
