Finally re-released on CD with tons of bonus tracks. Available at CDBaby.com

One of my favorite obscure classic metal albums from the 80's.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I'm always on the look out for obscure stuff.

Those samples sound great! This is a band I've never heard of (from NC?). I'd love to have it but funds are low now.

Actually this was released two years ago under somewhat controversial situation. Good album though.

Yeah the whole New Renaissance fiasco. But screw them - this is a great release and I highly reccomend it to all lovers of US metal.

Sounds pretty good. I see this is on Sonic Age/Cult Metal Classics? Their reissues are pretty damn good.

I remember seeing this album in stores back in the day but never checked it out. Samples sound pretty good tho.

What was the situation? I had inquired several times over the years on the New Renaissance board about it being re-released but I was generally ignored. Seemed to me the label was holding the album hostage. I can't believe that New Renaissance would still own the rights to the album after over twenty years.

Apparently Sonic Age licensed it from Shark Records, and New Renaissance claimed they own the rights and Shark cannot re-license it. It was somewhat comic mess, given those labels reputation of handling some of their bands.

Anyhow, from what I was told Sonic Age cut the guys from Cerebus into the profits, so if anyhting, this release is band approved.
