Anti-Urban
''Anti-Urban'' is an EP released by Ukrainian black metal band Drudkh on April 16, 2007 (see 2007 in music), by Supernal Music. It is the band's first EP and sixth release overall. It is only available directly from the label, and has been limited to a two-time-only pressing of 999 (of which only 992 were actually made) 10-inch vinyl records. In 2009, it was re-released in mini CD format by French label Season of Mist. This version was available only as a part of a box-set edition of their album '' Microcosmos'', limited only to 500 copies. The first rip of the album to circulate around the Internet was taken, incorrectly, from a 33.3 RPM playing of the album. The album was intended to be played at 45 RPM, and therefore the nine-minute-plus versions of ''Anti-Urban'' tracks floating around the Internet are improperly ripped. This album, like ''Forgotten Legends ''Forgotten Legends'' is the first full-length album by Ukrainian black metal band Drudkh. The album's sound and a ...
