Pungent Stench’s landmark EP Extreme Deformity returns in a freshly remastered 2025 CD edition that captures the Austrian trio’s visceral early-death-metal assault in razor-sharp clarity. Tracked in a single day in 1988 and originally issued by Nuclear Blast, these recordings blend grinding riffs, guttural vocals and grotesque lyrical imagery that helped define the burgeoning gore-laden underground.

The new jewel-case pressing is sourced from the original tapes, restores the macabre cover art, and—for the first time on CD—adds the long-lost studio cut “Rip You Without Care” together with a previously unreleased 1988 live performance, bringing the total running time to nearly 40 minutes of uncompromising extremity. Whether you’re upgrading a worn-out first press or discovering the record for the first time, this limited reissue delivers definitive sound, expanded content and collectible packaging that belongs in every extreme-metal library.
