If you’re familiar with our metal collection, you know we’ve already spun some of our favorites from the original pressings of Demons & Wizards. However, the only original pressings that existed on vinyl were pressed on picture discs. Except now, 20 years later, their Self-Titled, and Touched By The Crimson King albums have been pressed again this time remastered on plain vinyl.

In the midst of the vast valley of metal that we’re spinning, I’ll be tossing in my favorites once more and the remaining songs from both albums on the channel for your listening and viewing pleasure. This is Rites of Passage, and Heaven Denies from Hansi Kursch, and Jon Schaffer’s 1999 self-titled album, Demons & Wizards on violet vinyl.

Be sure to check out our Demons & Wizards playlist if you’d like to see the original pressings in action! They are a sight to behold. Enjoy!
