Doom - Born Into This [LP & CD]

Not an album I am interested in, but I see there's been some discussions about the upcoming release I posted about and the authenticity of my posts. Yes, I am the General Manager of a music one-stop (distributor) and have access to official release information directly from the label and/or their exclusive distributors. Nothing I post is based on speculation, or info. from any non-official source (including Wikipedia, Tipsheet, someone's blog etc.)

For more information on the Doom release, here's is the official one-sheet from Lex Records (yes, I added the watermark in the background):
