Preorder options are available for North American and European fans.
For a taste of the remastered sound, listen to the 25th Anniversary Version of the powerful opening track “Wings.”
Peter Wiwczarek shares in the liner notes, “Litany was definitely our fastest and most brutal album ever recorded…This year the album celebrates its quarter-century, and we want to remind you of the power of these brutal riffs. The album returns to the stages in full form. Many of the songs haven’t been played since the 2000-2001 promotional tour. Some of them have never been played. I invite you to the world of Litany! Remember… you enter here at your own risk!”
