Purple Haze Vinyl. $avior$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."
