Mob Rules - 20th Anniversary Boxset

Two weeks before it's released something unfortunate will happen, and it will be delayed for an indefinite period of time.


Of course, this will be after I pre-ordered it, and as a consolation prize I'll receive Forbidden's Greatest Hits.



It actually is a very solid cd (containing my favorite song "Through Eyes of Glass") but humor stops for no one!



and now back to your regularly scheduled prog-ramming.
 
Man this makes me feel old. I remember picking up the debut based on the cover art and band photo alone on one of my last days studying abroad at Oxford before starting my senior year in college.

yeah I first got into them via a Limb Music cassette sampler when the "Savage Land" came out. Got it free at a store with a Rhapsody CD. It really hooked me. Gave up on them a year or so later but came back a few years ago. Very solid band.
 
MOB RULES STREAMING SNIPPET OF "CELEBRATION DAY" FROM TIMEKEEPER 20TH ANNIVERSARY BOX; NEW RECORDING FEATURES AXXIS SINGER BERNHARD WEISS

While Northern German melodic metal band, Mob Rules, are currently taking a deep breath before preparing for their anniversary shows, the work on their ambitioned 20th anniversary boxed set, Timekeeper, was completed a few days ago. Now the musicians are revealing bit by bit exciting details about the box.

“Following an elaborate production, which was done in real team work, the result makes us both happy and proud,” comments keyboardist Jan Christian Halfbrodt. “Over the last twenty years, Mob Rules have accumulated lots of material and of course lots of ideas which we wanted to integrate into this boxed anniversary set, so at the end of the day it has turned into a 4-disc package including DVD. As a fan item, we feel it’s an absolute must!”

The band have already given away that a number of renowned guests have contributed to Timekeeper, among them Udo Dirkschneider (U.D.O.), Amanda Somerville and Sascha Paeth (both Avantasia), Peavy Wagner (Rage), Michael Ehré (Gamma Ray), Herman Frank (Accept) and Bernhard Weiss, and the result of Mob Rules’ successful cooperation with the Axxis frontman can now be heard on a pre-release snippet.

“With his musical biography, Bernhard is one of our role models, and we’re really excited about his vocal contribution on "Celebration Day",” Halfbrodt explains, thrilled at the great number of pre-orders for the limited box, which is numbered individually and by hand.
