A little insight behind the new Acheron – Rites of the Black Mass vinyl variants…

At Kenyon Records, we always aim to create editions that true fans and collectors will appreciate. For this release, we worked closely with the members of Acheron to bring their personal visions to life. Each of the three new vinyl variants was designed or color-selected by one of the original members, resulting in a unique and meaningful tribute to Rites of the Black Mass.

The images shown are the hype stickers for each of the three variants:

Jim’s Variant:
Jim is a longtime vinyl collector and a traditionalist at heart. His request was simple — a classic 180g black vinyl edition that captures the purest, most authentic listening experience.

Pete’s Variant:
Pete, also a diehard vinyl enthusiast, loves creative pressings and eye-catching effects. His design is ultra-clear vinyl with a blue swirl near the center and four splatter colors, creating a stunning visual explosion through the transparent wax.

Vince’s Variant:
Vince isn’t a vinyl collector himself but wanted something symbolic and atmospheric for the fans. LP1 features Bloodshot Marble vinyl, while LP2 uses purple vinyl with bone and blood-red splatter — a nod to the color’s significance in rituals and occultism.

We hope you enjoy these special, one-of-a-kind editions — crafted with the same care and reverence as the music itself.

Thanks for the continued support 🤘
