M-Theory Audio will reissue “Harsh Realities,” the debut album release from Seattle thrashers, BITTER END, on August 12th. The group's 1990 release, originally released by Metal Blade Records, was produced by Randy Burns (Megadeth, Kreator, Death, Nuclear Assault, Possessed) and features cover artwork by Jim Warren (Loudness, Lizzy Borden, Heir Apparent) - garnered critical acclaim and a cult following for a thrash metal assault that bludgeoned ears with musical precision that appealed to fans of acts such as Megadeth, Forbidden, Testament, and tour mates Sacred Reich and DRI. The band were mainstays of the late 1980's pre-grunge Seattle heavy metal scene that also gave rise to fellow Pacific Northwest promising thrashers such as Forced Entry and Panic.

This reissue is limited to 300 copies on radiation green with orange haze and includes new 4-panel insert with liner notes from vocalist/guitarist Matt Fox.
