Marking 35 years since its original impact on the heavy metal landscape, the seminal Seattle-based technical thrashers FORCED ENTRY are pleased to announce the definitive reissue of their cult-classic masterpiece, ‘As Above, So Below’. In partnership with M-Theory Audio, this long-awaited celebration and sought-after classic will make its vinyl debut, as well as a Digipak edition CD, available July 31, 2026. Formed in the late 1980s, FORCED ENTRY carved out a unique space within the burgeoning Seattle metal scene, blending blistering thrash speed with complex, progressive song structures. ‘As Above, So Below’ remains a high-water mark for the band, celebrated by fans and critics alike for its aggressive intensity, musicianship, groove and technicality. The anniversary reissue ensures that a new generation of metalheads — and long-time devotees — can experience the record in prestige formats. ‘As Above, So Below’ features freshened up and expanded layouts by Marc Lopes, including a new interview with vocalist/bassist Tony Benjamins and extra pics and flyers. The original album was produced by Tom Soares (Demolition Hammer, Cro-Mags, Meliah Rage) and engineered by Jamie Locke (Obituary, Prong, Leeway) with artwork by Sean Wyett (Exodus, Cyclone Temple, Devastation).
