Morbid Saint Reissue (Finally!)

Quote :

***IMPORTANT
MORBID SAINT NEWS***

All of the artwork for the Morbid Saint "Spectrum
of Death" re-issue is FINALLY complete!!!
Also the CD has been professionally remastered and
sounds FANTASTIC!!!

The finished project is now in the hands of
the manufacturer
and it will be completed around the second week
of October 2008.
The exact release date will be announced soon.

So this reissue was supposed to come out 2 years ago. But finally Power Play Records are stating that it is away at the processing plant. This is a serious thrash classic that not alot of people know about. I highly recommend it to anyone. Maybe some of the thrash experts on the board can provide more insight to it's excellence. I know I'll be getting it.

Never heard of them.

The samples are sonically horrible, but it will give you the idea of the band.

Ahh, old school death thrash like a cross between Kreator and Demolition Hammer. Sounds really good!

kick ass, will def be getting this

These guys are amazing. Been listening to this album forever and it never gets old. One of the best thrash bands from the US to have ever existed! Glad to see its finally getting re-released.

An all-out sonic assault! VERY good album.

Another reissue with a new cover. I'd prefer the original cover, no matter how cheesy it is.

Yeah, I hate when reissues use a new cover

Do they ship quickly? I'd like to get this plus a couple of other things from them.

I got a Damien cd from them a couple of years ago and it arrived pretty quick.

Thanks. The Damien cds are the other discs I wanted to get from them.

This cover dude looks like Maiden's Eddie.

yeah i never believed that other morbid saint rerelease that says it was only 500 copies made
i mean there were many of them on ebay
the same goes for that deathrow debut cd

Now if someone would reissue the band Thresher.

Good stuff.

I've heard some of thier stuff. Has this really creepy,cold vibe to it that I like.

Dosnt the insert on that deathrow album claim theres only like 350 floating around?

For the morbid saint reissue, I think they should have kept the original artwork.

I got a note from Jim who is the owner of Power Play Records (the label that is reissuing Spectrum of Death):

I wanted to let you and the other metal heads know that we just joined myspace.com --> http://www.myspace.com/powerplayrecords
and
put a full mp3 sample of 'SCARS' (Morbid Saint) for fans to listen to.
It's the new remastered version but it's a lower quality mp3 of course.

Also
if guys want to hear a variety of the Morbid Saint sound we added 4 one
minute clips from "Spectrum Of Death" to our BANDS page http://www.powerplayrecords.com/bands.htm


Oh, also... we ship our CDs within 24 hours of payment received.

He also had this to say about the new cover:

Quote :

In
regards to the MS cover -> Tony (from MS) basically hated the old
"Eddie" cover, so we based the new cover on the original "skulls cover"
that they never used. We didn't have rights to use the image so our new
cover is based on the concept a bit. WE DID INCLUDE A PICTURE OF THE
"EDDIE" COVER IN THE NEW CD RELEASE (it's under the disc on the inner
back tray).

I got his reissues of the Damien discs yesterday and they are very high quality stuff. He seems like a nice guy who is a metal fan at heart. Can't wait for this release!

Ordered the Damien cds today!

Agreed.

Power Play Records has set an October 21 release date for the reissue of the thrash/death metal classic "Spectrum Of Death" from the long-defunct Sheboygan, Wisconsin band MORBID SAINT.

Commented the label: "We worked directly with former members of MORBID SAINT [and their] management and consulted with them to create an incredible reissue. The release has a full-color, 12-page booklet with all-new artwork and layout, a brand new cover, some new photos, full song lyrics, and a full-color screen printed CD face. The CD has been professionally remastered and sounds significantly better than anything you can download (and the levels are an improvement on the original CD source as well)."

The remastered track "Scars" from the "Spectrum Of Death" reissue is available for streaming on the Power Play Records MySpace page. Four one-minute samples clips from the remasterhave been uploaded to this location.

"Spectrum Of Death" was released in 1989 on a small Mexican label, Avanzada Metallica, and was issued in 1991 through Grind Core. The band also recorded a set of demos called "Destruction System",

If anybody wants to get rid of their original, I would be interested.
