Metal Mind - what re-issues would you like to see...

I think I speak for all the thrashers out there but it is goddamn time we see a re-issue of Coroner's albums! That is on the top of my list.

Metal Mind has re-issued so many more obscure / lesser known bands (some of which were also on Noise in the past) so why not give Coroner's catalog the same treatment?

I would also like to see a re-issue of Riot's 90s albums which are impossible to find (at least new and original).

According to the Coroner camp, now that they're reformed, they're working on remastering and rereleaseing all their albums actually. That IS a great choice for metal mind though.

You don't know the pain I have in my heart for parting ways with my Coroner albums for a really dumb cause ... I was younger and obviously blinded by false desires ...

Thankfully I retained Coroner's Punishment for Decadence ...

I agree about Coroner. I also would like to see all the Suicidal albums with Rocky George and all Testament albums remastered.

I'm not sure whether any of the Metal Mind Production re-issues are also remastered. At least I have not come across anything specific and I do not own original pressings of the re-issued albums to tell the difference. They do sound great though and I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with the gold CD pressing or the remastering (if any).

I believe however that Artillery's older albums were remastered. I have both the Axe Killer and the Metal Mind Production versions of Terror Squad and I can definitely tell the difference with the latter version being clearer, crispier, heavier, tighter sounding. The Axe Killer version, which I understand is also a remastered version, sounds muddier with the drums and leads sounding somewhat muffled.

Metal Mind's reissue of the first Crimson Glory album is one of my faves. When I found out they'd re-instated "Dream Dancer" as an album track I practically did cartwheels.

As for any wish list of stuff they could resurrect...just off the top of my head, Nuclear Assault's SURVIVE is dyin' for a proper reissue...

Are they even planning on doing any more re-releases at all?

I see you mentioned Noise Records, so one I'd like to see reissued is Exciter - Kill After Kill

What makes you think they will no longer be re-releasing any more albums?

As far as I can tell they are constantly re-releasing albums , with the most recent I know of being the first 5 Primal Fear albums.

A few other overlooked classics by the mighty Accept in dire need of a proper re-issue

Objection Overruled

and

Death Row

Both of those albums are now long out of print - and unlikely that well known by most except perhaps the most die-hard of Accept fans. Both albums are chock full of quality material and represent Accept at their highest mark with Udo behind the mic. Some might disagree but both of these albums are heavy and tight as hell - at times even going into a euro-speed / thrashy direction. Well worth owning along side the rest of Accept's albums.

I just don't get it - with Accept returning with such a great come-back album and a fresh new line-up why hasn't anyone bothered with re-issuing these albums?

I'd like the early Skyclad albums. And maybe Marshall Law.

Thrust,Violent Playground,Dr.Know,Living Death,Oz,Pariah,Mezzrow

I would like Metal Mind to not screw up their reissues. I think everyone one I own either has the tracklisting messed or it skips. They're cheap.

Speaking of Crimson Glory, they might reissue Parish - Envision someday? And yes, the quality of their reissues is not very high usually.

Assorted Heap - The Experience of Horror
Assorted Heap - Mindwaves

Those two need to be reissued desperately.

I totally agree with the Crimson Glory. Although there is some debate as to whether they have the rights to do them, they do sound good.

Both D.A.M. and Poltergeist albums could use a Metal Mind release.

I'd also like to see Wardance's Heaven Is For Sale.

The only one "debating" them is Jon Drenning

Seems pretty cut and dry to me. Roadrunner apparently still owns the rights to those C.G. records, so they can license'em out to whoever the hell they want.

Yeah, I know. But Jon Drenning makes it sound like he's the only one who's ever been effed over by a record company...I'm tired of that dude's whining. Seriously, he should just suck it up and put out new material already or shut up.

The riot albums mostly.
