Monstrosity "In Dark Purity (Japan Edition)"

In Dark Purity is the third studio album by American death metal band Monstrosity. The first version of this album was released by German Metal Age Recordings (Turbo Rec. follow-up label). However, the label was a rip-off label and therefore Monstrosity later re-released it through The Plague Rec. as LP and CD. This album was recorded at Morrisound Recording Studio in Tampa, Florida. This is also the first album to not feature George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher on lead vocals.

- At the end of track 12, someone (thought to be Morgan) whispers "get the gun, get the gun, shoot shoot shoot", which is a dedication to Ozzy Osbourne's fiasco with the parents of a kid who shot himself while listening to his song "Suicide Solution", which supposedly had those words subliminally embedded in it.
