Spotlight – Vengeance Rising: ‘Anthology’ returns in 2025 as a tribute to Roger Martinez. Limited vinyl and expanded CD.
Vengeance Rising steps back into the spotlight: the cult compilation ‘Anthology’ (1993, Intense Records) is being revived in 2025. Roxx Records is preparing a new edition shaped as a tribute in the wake of Roger Martinez’s passing. Pre-orders go live on Monday, September 1, 2025 at 7:00 PST, offering both a limited vinyl and a remastered & expanded jewel case CD.
For Collectors
The original 1993 release of ‘Anthology’ came out on both CD and cassette. First Intense Records pressings (catalog number FLD-9267) are now highly collectible and can fetch hundreds of dollars. Key features include:- color variations in the CD face print between first and second runs,
- the original booklet with full lyrics and label notes,
- cassette versions featuring a darker-toned cover palette.
The 2025 Roxx Records edition will be remastered and expanded, but the original 1993 editions remain prized collector items.
