Lyric Booklet #6: Purging the Great Abyss

The sixth album to include lyrics was ORC's 1999 album Purging the Great Abyss. This was the longest lyric booklet released at over thirty pages long.

Each song had the lyrics typed out using its own font. And behind the lyrics was a different watermark for each song. This really made each song unique.

The booklet ended with an extensive history of the making of the album, the 1997 Musik Catalog, and a complete list of songs recorded by ORC during this period.

The booklet was released at the same time as the album. There were twelve handed out. There were three versions released: one had a blue cover, one had a green cover, and the other version had no cover at all. The cover was the only difference, the rest of the booklets were the same.
