Pressed to Perfection by Hellbender Vinyl

Hellbender Vinyl had the honor of handling the vinyl pressing for The Bestiary, ensuring the physical manifestation of their music matched the band’s ambitious artistic vision. From the custom color variants to the high-quality mastering for vinyl, we worked closely with Castle Rat to deliver a product that looks and sounds incredible.

Seeing our work spin on turntables across the world is one thing - but seeing it land on the charts? That’s next-level!
