Dronevil

The album was originally released on double vinyl with the artwork for this release done by Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))). 1,000 copies were pressed of this album, 200 of which were printed on grey vinyl with the other 800 copies pressed on black vinyl. The album was re-released through Inoxia Records in 2006 under the name Dronevil -Final- on (double) CD format. This version includes two additional tracks not found on the original release. An alternate mix of "The Evil One Which Sobs"/"Interference Demon" appears on Heavy Metal Me, while a live version appears on Archive II. In 2025, a remixed version of the album, titled Dronevil -Example-, was announced, to be released by Relapse Records. This release included new versions of the songs previously released on Dronevil -Final-, with each pair of songs combined into a single new song.
