$avior$elf is a powerful testament to Hades' enduring legacy, marking their triumphant return with this 1998 release on Metal Blade Records. Fronted by Alan Tecchio, known for his work with Watchtower, the album delivers a commanding performance with vocals that are both intense and refined. The production is top-notch, emphasizing tight riffing, sharp leads, and a well-balanced mix that captures the essence of classic thrash and power metal. Dan Lorenzo, the band's founder and guitarist, shines throughout the album, delivering precision and creativity that elevate each track, solidifying his reputation as a standout musician in the genre.

Lyrically, $avior $elf stands out with thought-provoking commentary on religion and politics, delivered with a blend of sharp wit and serious reflection. The album includes surprising elements, such as a unique take on the Our Father prayer, adding depth and complexity to the music. This reissue, available for the first time on vinyl, is limited to just 300 copies and features a striking Purple Haze color-a smokey purple that complements the album's introspective tone. The package includes a 12x12 full-color lyrics insert with photos and has been expertly mastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell. For fans of Watchtower, Nevermore, Deliverance, Overkill, Sacred Reich, and Badlands, $avior $elf is more than just an album-it's a complete artistic statement that honors Hades' past while pushing the boundaries of metal."

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
