In fact this is one of the best quality (if not even THE best quality) Finnish made vinyl I have ever played.

- NOTE 2: The gatefold cover is identical to at least black, gold, silver and cherry red vinyl editions.
Only the sticker(s) on shrinkwrap separate sealed copies from each other.
- NOTE 3: These vinyl do not appear to be of the standard Optimal Media quality (very sharp edge and different looking center label area than usually for Optimal Media
made records) and they do not carry the standard Optimal Media runouts so I doubt these were made by Optimal Media in Germany.
Looks like NB may have found a new vinyl pressing plant for their records, a one that has more consistent quality than Optimal Media.
There exists few test pressings with The Vinyl Factory printed on the center label and with VERY similar runouts and center label area so the new pressing
plant is likely to be The Vinyl Factory in the UK.

- INNERSLEEVES: black polylined paper innersleeve, die-cut from both sides to show the center labels and all corners clipped (the original innersleeves)
- RELEASED: Released on 9th of October 2020 (source: European Nuclear Blast webshop when this was on preorder stage
+ Backstage Rock Shop when this was on preorder stage
+ Finnish EMP webshop when this was on preorder stage)
though also claimed to have been released on 16th of October (source: Napalm Records webshop).
BRS and EMP later moved the release date to 23rd of October 2020.
- OTHER: Originally released sealed with unnumbered infosticker on the front on shrinkwrap and barcode sticker on the back on shrinkwrap.
Only the sticker on the front cover bears the cat# NB4425-2.
Limited to 250 copies on gold + black splatter vinyl (source: European Nuclear Blast webshop + Napalm Records webshop + Backstage Rock Shop webshop).
Includes cardboard lyrics and credits insert.
- NOTE 1: The gatefold of this edition is clearly different than that of the original 2018 vinyl editions though only the copyright year has been updated and there is less
gloss, even less than in the cover of the 2019 sparkle vinyl edition. In addition the sticker(s) on shrinkwrap separate sealed copies from each other.
- NOTE 2: These vinyl do not appear to be of the standard Optimal Media quality (different looking center label area than usually for Optimal Media made records) and
they do not carry the standard Optimal Media runouts so I doubt these were made by Optimal Media in Germany. However, the gold vinyl formula seems to
be very close to the gold vinyl formula used by Optimal Media. Looks like NB may have found a new vinyl pressing plant for their records.

- NOTE 1: This is just a repress of the corresponding vinyl in the Nuclear Blast The Vinyl Collection box above.
- NOTE 2: This is clearly a dimmer shade of gold and less transparent than the previous gold + black splatter vinyl above, you can clearly see it if you put the records side
by side. Besides that and the different label, cat#, barcode and label information on the back cover I don't see much of a difference between the two editions.
