Da fallen mir eher noch Solstice ein. Da kommt auch bald ne Box via Cyclone Empire…
Was, Box?
Wo, wann, was, warum????? 😯
CYCLONE EMPIRE ist stolz bekanntgeben zu können, daß die englischen Kult-Doomer SOLSTICE bei uns unterschrieben haben! Erstes Ergebnis der neuen Zusammenarbeit werden die Re-Releases der drei Alben (wie immer inkl. etlicher Boni, neuen Artworks) sein, die für Frühjahr 2007 angedacht sind und vom Release eines ultimativen, streng limitierten Box-Sets gefolgt wird. Das Box-Set (voraussichtlicher Titel: ‚Blood, Fire, Doom‘) wird die drei Re-Releases, ein von Mastermind Rich Walker verfaßtes History-Buch, sowie eine DVD beinhalten. DOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
Hier das Statement von Rich zum Vertragsabschluß:
„Today, on the 31st of August I just signed a deal with German label CYCLONE EMPIRE to release the history of the band. Although it will NOT contain the early demo’s of the band it will include a titanic amount of rare and unreleased material not readily available together for the first time as well as the standard albums and a DVD.
Contained will be:
– „LAMENTATIONS“ CD with bonus tracks being the „RAGNAROK“ Demo from 1994
– „HALCYON“ CD with bonus tracks being the „DRUNKEN DUNGEON SESSION“ Demo 1997 (All FIVE tracks as opposed to the three track commercially available at the time), „DRUNKEN DUNGEON SESSION II“ demo which is the cover version of CANDLEMASS‘ „Solitude“ with KARL SIMON of THE GATES OF SLUMBER providing the vocals, „WINTER MOON RAPTURE“ Chiswick Reach demo version from 1994 and more…
– „NEW DARK AGE“ CD with bonus tracks being covers of TRESPASS and IRON MAIDEN.
– „SINISTRAL VISTA’S“ DVD featuring full live sets from Lithuania in 1994, England in 2000 (Including the unreleased songs „BLOODFEUD“ and „AEQUINOCTIUM II“, The promotional video for „THE SLEEPING TYRANT“, footage and interview from WOA 2000, Select cuts from various other live shows, Flyer and photo gallery.
– In addition the Boxset will come complete with a book detailing the history of the band written by myself, where I shall recount numerous anecdotes and ramble incoherently a load of old bollocks in the vain hope of entertaining you all.
Each album will be remastered, and repackaged to give maximum value for money, with alot of original artwork lovingly restored by my mate after I leathered him with a pool cue and smashed his head off the table a few times. The individual CDs will have entertaining and informative liner notes written by Mr S**** of S*****, and a whole new thanks list where I shall thank alot of you who were not originally on the thanks lists in the futile hope you might buy me a drink should we meet.
Did I mention, that all the SOLSTICE CD’s will be available too as separate issues at mid price with all the extras, except the DVD which will only come with the boxset.
No?
Well I did now.“
