ABOUT THE ALBUM
ROXX GEMS VOLUME III – Vengeance & Tykkus (CD)
Release date: April 25, 2025 • Catalog: RRCD-00288 • UPC: 880225243792
Roxx Records’ ROXX GEMS series spotlights rare and formative moments in Christian rock and metal—one-time, limited runs sourced from short-pressings, demos, archives, and overlooked deep cuts. Volume III pairs two milestones from different eras on one definitive disc.
Side A: VENGEANCE – “The Red Demo” (1987).
Five tracks that helped ignite Christian thrash—raw, urgent, and historic. Recorded in 1987, these songs capture Vengeance at ground level as the movement took shape.
Side B: TYKKUS – “Ümlaut” (2005).
Four roof-rattling cuts from the West Coast traditional metal unit—Judas Priest–leaning power, bold hooks, and unapologetic faith, originally issued in very limited CDR form.
This CD edition comes in a jewel case with a 4-panel insert that mirrors the vinyl layout. One-time pressing. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
