The 2004 album of high-calibre extremity from the French Metal masters.
This is the first ever vinyl edition of Era Decay.
A powerfully dark and at times experimental opus.

Seth formed back in 1995 and is known as being among the primary acts in the French black metal scene, with their 1998 debut, ‘Les Blessures de L’Ame’ regarded as a landmark album and a cornerstone of French Black metal since its release on the then freshly-established label, Season of Mist, with Seth becoming firmly established as an internationally recognised act as a result.
Seth went on to release a further five studio offerings over the next twenty five years, branching out into other spectrums of extreme metal along the way before returning to the more grimly-atmospheric sounds of yore.
‘Era Decay’ was Seth’s fourth studio opus, originally surfacing in 2004, and continued to establish a more brutal integration of riffing & compositional styles and ideas which was indicative of the times, whilst also still retaining some blackened metal elements among more progressively technical ingredients. With a cleaner, more cutting production, this resulted in one of the band’s heaviest outputs, with some intricate riffs and melodies.
