Thirty-four years after its original release, Abomination’s seminal sophomore album Tragedy Strikes erupts anew in this 2025 Hammerheart Records digipak. The Chicago trio’s fusion of high-speed thrash riffs and death-metal ferocity has been remastered by Erwin Hermsen at Toneshed Music, exposing sharper cymbal attack, deeper low end, and greater vocal clarity while retaining every ounce of its raw hostility. Richard Schouten contributes striking new artwork that respects the original aesthetic yet amplifies its apocalyptic vision. Lyrically, Paul Speckmann’s scathing indictments of war, greed, and political decay still cut as deeply today as they did in 1991, making this edition both a historical touchstone and a brutally relevant listening experience.
