ABOUT THE ALBUM
HADES – Resist Success (2LP Gold Vinyl Gatefold)
The Crypt – CRYPT 115 • Limited Edition of 175 Copies
A cult classic of early American power metal and thrash, Resist $uccess stands as one of the most important underground metal releases of the mid-1980s. Originally issued during the formative years of the New Jersey metal scene, this album captured the raw intensity and ambition of HADES at their creative peak.
This deluxe 2022 double LP reissue from The Crypt presents the album with exceptional care and attention to detail. Carefully mastered from the original analog sources, the release delivers powerful sound while preserving the spirit of the original recording. The packaging recreates the look and feel of the original release, incorporating the classic artwork and typography while expanding the presentation with additional archival material.
Housed in a gatefold sleeve, this edition includes rare and previously unpublished band photos, vintage flyers, and brand new liner notes from founding guitarist Dan Lorenzo, giving fans and collectors deeper insight into the history of the band and the era.
Pressed on limited gold vinyl (2LP) and restricted to just 175 copies, this is a highly desirable collector’s piece for fans of classic US metal.
Note: While Combat / Torrid logos appear on the labels and artwork as part of the faithful reproduction of the original layouts, this is an official reissue released by The Crypt.
