MALDOROR from Turin (Italy) will be the third band to be released on Rude Awakening Records: specifically, the label goes on with its work of rare and out of print reissues with the full length “In Saturn Mystique”, second and last record of the cult Black Metal band under this monicker.

Same as the previous releases by Rude Awakening Records, this one will be limited to 300 hand-numbered CDs, unique pieces with exclusive merch included for early supporters (more details will follow).

The mastermind of the band himself, Marco Castagnetto, also known for his work as art illustrator and currently bringing on his latest avantgarde musical project Shabda, will take care of the artwork and the remastering of “In Saturn Mystique”, originally published in 2000.

The release date is still to be confirmed, but probably it will happen in January 2017. Details about the tracklist will follow soon, too.
 
After announcing the reissue of the second full length by Italian blacksters MALDOROR, Rude Awakening Records is proud to unveil the cover drawn by Marco Castagnetto, illustrator and founder of the band, currently active as musician in TMK - Textbook of Modern Karate and Shabda. The third release by the label comes 17 years after the original press of “In Saturn Mystique”.

As a preview, on the official label channels (YouTube and Soundcloud) you can find the track “E.O.N. Mysterium” anticipating the complete streaming on the major providers as the record is officially out, probably in the early months of 2017. “In Saturne Mystique” has also been totally remastered by Marco Castagnetto himself and there will be a special bonus track too, long unavailable elsewhere on physical format.

This reissue will be limited to 300 hand-numbered copies worldwide and it will come with an exclusive metal shaped pin with the logo of the band for the first 30 copies, a piece of art by LHP Illustration/Emanacion Siniestra (well known for working with bands such as Portal, Teitanblood, Mournful Congregation and many more).

Stay tuned for the next news and the official release date!
