Upcoming Reissues

I see Cloven Hoof's s/t and Dominator have been reissued on cd. I need these immediately. I cant find them in the US but I may eat the GBP conversion rate for these.

Finally planned to be reissued on CD by Electric Lady Land Records after nothing between its original 1986 vinyl pressing (also released by Electric Lady Land Records) and now. Japanese speed metal:

 


• A gift from the Metal Gods! The unreleased album from metal heroes THOR recorded in 1979 as a follow-up to their blockbuster debut Keep The Dogs Away!

• Never before heard recordings that bridge the gap between Thor's glam rock beginnings and his later evolution into full heavy metal in the early '80s!

• Original cover art by comic book artist, Ken Landgraf, who has worked for both DC and Marvel!

@Master_Yoda77 ironically the song I linked kinda reminds me of GG's "Cheri Love Affair" lol.
 
Autopsy demos LP shot 150.jpg

The very earliest works of the kings of sickness, Autopsy!

Following the band's 30th anniversary, Critical Madness: The Demo Years compiles the earliest recordings by the kings of sickness.

Chronicling the band's formative years, the collection contains Autopsy’s first demo from 1987 as well as 1988’s legendary Critical Madness demo (which quickly resulted in the band inking a deal with Peaceville and the subsequent release of the genre staple debut, 1989’s Severed Survival).

This special archive release is completed by the rare track Christ Denied and a selection of raw rehearsal recordings from 1987 and 1988, most of which would later feature on the band’s studio debut.

Reissues of the first two Disciples of Power albums, Powertrap and Ominous Prophecy, are being reissued soon on vinyl by Blood Harvest Records according to Hart Bachmier. There was also an official CD reissue of the debut last year on Vic Records.

He also says that all of the digital music available online was uploaded by other people so it shouldn't be supported. The current incarnation of the band was also formed without him and he says that he's pursuing litigation against the people involved because he's the only one with actual legal rights to perform under that name.
 
These are already out but I've noticed some budget reissues of some NWOBHM bands, if you arent looking for originals or japanese shmcds, these might be up your alley. For the money they look pretty decent, imo. They also look better than the couple of these I own of death/thrash bands too, but that may be coincidental.

These all come in those clamshell boxes and the cds are all in mini lp sleeve replicas. They look nice but they are a bit flimsy.

Btw, if you guys know any more of these do post them, I like to knock out a big chunk of a bands discography with these if the originals arent decently available.
