10.) Dormant Ordeal - Tooth and Nail I fell in love with this record *immediately* and knew it would be in my top 10. Relentless, tight Polish death metal that's still so captivating & rich. Drums are especially great. (The vinyl was also pressed here in Pittsburgh by @hellbendervinyl.bsky.social!)

Dormant Ordeal - Tooth and Nail (2025)
Death metal, blackened death metal, technical death metal

We got to create this limited edition vinyl for Mountain Dew! If you watched the Super Bowl, you probably saw the commercial with SEAL singing “Kiss From A Lime” - well, that song is now pressed to vinyl on Baja Blast teal!

Did I go too hard with this caption or is it okay to suggest someone may want a margarita this morning based on current reality

Hellbender Vinyl @hellbendervinyl.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

If you’re tired of the cold, hop in our weldotron! This thing is reaching temps a lil over 400 degrees F. It’s also the piece of equipment we use to shrink wrap your vinyl. So go ahead, grab a margarita and let’s get shrink wrapped in those warm temps! 🏖️
