A lustrum by Expurgatory
This album is released to commemorate the first half decade of Expurgatory's existence. 11 tracks have been chosen from 10 releases put out since late 2013, with 1 new track opening the compilation. Most of the tracks (with the exception of track 11) have never been properly mastered before. We are very proud, therefore, to be able to once again showcase the brilliant mastering skills of Paul Fox, who was last engaged by us in 2015 for our first full-length album, 'X'.
