Fear Not - 25th Anniversary LP + CD reissue details announced

Roxx Records is very excited to announce our next Limited Edition reissue of the much sought after debut release from US rockers FEAR NOT!

That’s right one of the long, lost out of print titles that has never seen a proper reissue, original CD copies are very scarce to find these days, if you can find one at all! But even better this will be the first time this title has ever been released on vinyl!

Fear Not was formed in 1992 coming out of the remnants of Love Life with their one and only release entitled ‘Goodbye Lady Jane’. After the release of ‘Goodbye Lady Jane’ the band felt they needed a change and to somewhat reinvent their sound and style, the band would change their name to Fear Not, sign on to Pakaderm Records and embark on to a very successful ride with this, their self-titled debut.

Unfortunately in the mid 90’s the music scene was starting to take a turn, and when a band like Fear Not should have been on top of the charts, the sounds of grunge were coming in and hard rock in the vein of Fear Not was pushed to the side. Alas, Fear Not would call it a day before ever recording a sophomore release.

Today 25 years later we are excited to once again revisit and celebrate the music and story of Fear Not. Featuring a very beautiful new cover, that stays true to the original release while highlighting the hand painting of Ronald Wall, who assisted in the beautiful pin stripped logos on the cover and the beautiful updated hand painting of the cross on the back cover. Together with Scott Waters (No Life til Metal), they turned the artwork and layout in to a work of art.

We are just getting started though, the music for this reissue has been completely remastered for vinyl and for a special CD pressing by our very own Rob Colwell (Bombworks Sound). So join us as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Fear Not with this very cool limited edition reissue.

Fear Not the self-titled album will be issued on vinyl for the very first time with a special run of only 500 copies, featuring 150 copies on purple vinyl and 350 on black vinyl. It will feature all 10 of the original tracks as they originally appeared on the CD. Also we will be pressing 500 copies on limited edition CD featuring all 10 original tracks and 2 brand new previously unreleased tracks on CD! Release date is scheduled for December 8, 2017, just in time for the Holiday season. Stay tuned for updates and pre-order information by signing up on our email list at www.roxxproductions.com

Came here after a long absence to CELEBRATE THIS NEWS. Thank you Bill! My favorite christian metal band since I was a teen. They truly deserve this. Definitely going to order.

Not familiar with this band. But i will check them out.

Neat-o!

Will definitely be ordering this. I have a burned copy a friend made for me so it's only fair I buy it when it comes out. Been waiting for this one!

Just in case anyone missed it, TWO BONUS TRACKS !

Although I'm confused at the one about the one being recorded specifically for this release. From what I know the guys are spread out across that states and haven't reunited. Makes me wonder if it's a track of Larry's, maybe even this one:

Hmmm, I've been outbid on this one a few times in the past and had all but given up on owning a copy. Guess now I'll finally get my chance.

Great album! Good to see it get a reissue. I've still got my original. Love Life was good too. Still got that on cassette. Haha.

I'll be ordering a copy!

ill get this! Hard to believe its 25 years old though.

I don't know if I'll get the CD since I already have two (non-boot) copies, but the vinyl for sure, especially for the bonus tracks (EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEipeedalittle).

No bonus tracks on the vinyl, CD only.

Ah, damn. I missed that. Welp, looks like I'm shelling out a good chunk for both.

Went to preorder this morning now that I have the funds and POOF! It's no longer available.

Oh well I guess I missed it.

Just ordered my CD

it is good - it sounds good and the music is cool. The bonus tracks are ok.

My copy came in today's mail! Woot!

Been jamming the re-ish a lot this wkend.

I gotta say, I usually don't dig it when reissues change/alter the cover art but in this case I actually like the new cover/layout better. The flowery/paisley motif of the original cover had a hippy-dippy vibe to it that didn't fit the band at all.

Have played it a few times and really enjoy it. I believe this is a re-issue only and not a remaster. Either way gld to have a legit copy, my only other copy was a rip someone made me from his CD. Once it got reissued I did the right thing and bought my own copy.

I like the new cover art better as well.

Wow, folks really like this?!

^^for F*ck's sake.

I remember seeing this album either in a Christian bookstore or in Heaven's Metal magazine back in the day... but I never heard what they sound like til now. My first impression is that they were a Christian alternative to Skid Row.

And the drums are very bombastic!
