"I recently purchased a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC turntable from you, and I am really impressed with the level of detail and customer service I’ve received so far. The instruction folder is a great touch, and your excellent site gave me tons of info and insight into buying and setting up the turntable. Bravo!" - P. Cuffari
"Wow. I just got the turntable. It is amazing. I love the bags, I love the fact that I got it literally less than 24 hours after ordering, I love the cartoon easy set up pics, the stickers, record cleaner brush, and the sound is great for the money. SOOO Happy!! Thanks guys and gals--you just created a customer for life."- R. Montgomery
"I love the Turntable Lab, great service & great products. There's no other store or site I'd rather buy my gear from. I'll sure keep on purchasing my equipment from TTL."- D. Martinez
"It's always nice to feel like you're appreciated, and you guys have done a great job with that."- R. Abeel
"Turntable lab constantly deliver the best and most current selection of modern music on all formats. It's my first stop for vinyl house and disco music. The reviews are accurate and I can trust the buyers to source quality product. Customer service is second to none and Bret has been nothing short of outstanding in every interaction we've ever had. Proud to be a Labhead." - G. Laurie
"First off I just want to thank you and your team for everything you do! The equipment and products you sell are awesome and exactly what artists like me need. I remember when I first discovered Turntable Lab by searching online for DJ equipment. I was looking all over for different equipment that I needed and when I found TTL I was relieved to find out that you guys basically had everything I was looking for." - C. Arroyo
"My Rane mixer arrived safely yesterday. I just wanted to say thanks to you and your team for your speedy response to my initial enquiry and efficient delivery. Great price and great service, I'll definitely be telling my friends about it." - A. McConnell (Marrickville, Australia)

Seven Churches is the debut album from the Bay Area band Possessed, who are often considered to be the first death metal band ever. (They're definitely one of the first in the US, at least.) They were inspired by the early work of Metallica and Exodus, an opening slot for the former led to an audition for Metal Blade records. They passed, but an appearance on a compilation drew the attention of Combat Records, who released Seven Churches in 1985. The record was massively influential, credited with connecting the dots between thrash and death metal, and inspiring the likes of Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, and Opeth. Lead track "The Exorcist" begins with a snippet of "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield, a calm before the storm along the lines of the kosmische intro to Deathcrush by Mayhem, but this is quickly set aside for aggressive shredding by Larry LaLonde (later of Primus), double-time blast beats from Mike Sus, and regurgitated vocals from bassist Jeff Becerra. This album is pressed on coke bottle clear colored vinyl, and is packaged in a gatefold sleeve including full album lyrics.
- 180g coke bottle clear colored pressing
- gatefold sleeve with full lyrics and printed insert
- limited edition
- original release year: 1985
- music label: Combat 2019
