IX is the third album by an Italian thrash/black metal band Bulldozer, which was released in December 1987. A 12" vinyl by Japanese record label F.O.A.D. Records was released on 9 May 2014 containing an extra slimcase CD included in the gatefold, filled with rare and unreleased photos. This is a sort of a "director’s cut" proposed by the band and totally unreleased until now.
