On March 26, 2026 Caverna Abismal Records will re-release “Compendium Of The Horrific”, the sophomore full-length from Portuguese Death Metallers FESTERING, in an improved and expanded CD edition. It will feature a fully reworked cover artwork and layout, which is finally doing justice to the original artwork and conceptual vision, and also includes two previously unreleased tracks. A brand-new studio recording and a live track, which was recorded at the band’s very first performance at Masmorra Fest 2016. The booklet includes previously unseen photographs from that historic live show. www.facebook.com/festering.band
