Rotting Unearths Lost Debut Album 'Nightmares Possessed' via Hells Headbangers

Hells Headbangers Records is set to unearth the lost debut album of Canada's Rotting, Nightmares Possessed, on CD, vinyl LP and cassette. Details on the formats and merchandise will be announced soon, and a track titled Devoured has been shared from the record.

Rotting released two demos between 1993 and 1995, but did not issue a debut album until 1998. That record, Crushed, turned out to be their final recording, and Hells Headbangers brought it back from the dead in 2025. Now the company turns to the band's unreleased original debut.

Founding guitarist Jeff White, who was just 17 at the time, recalls: "We recorded this album 1991 when we were still in high school."
