A Closer End
A friend of mine just discovered this on one of those download blogs. It looks like a new release by the band called A Closer End. Based on the tracklisting it appears to be a compilation of covers and what not, and perhaps some new songs. It includes all of Enter Suicidal Angels and the bonus tracks from The Gallery deluxe edition.
I didn't download it on principle, but here's the link so you believe me. Scroll down about half way or just run a page search for Dark Tranquillity.  01. A Closer End 02. Derivation TNB 03. The Endless Feed 04. Undo Control 05. Razorfever 06. Shadowlit Facade 07. Archetype 08. Bringer Of Torture 09. Sacred Reich 10. 22 Acacia Avenue 11. Lady In Black 12. My Friend Of Misery 13. I, Deception 14. Winter Triangle Total Playing Time 56:16 Metal-Archives has nothing on this.

I heard about this yesterday from another friend and another download site. I suppose if something like this was official we would have heard about it by now.. Not to mention that the cover doesn't look like something the band would release...

NO idea what this is. The songs are semi-rare tunes but nothing exclusive (the "Lost to apathy" EP, various bonus songs/covers), so it appears that someone just made a compilation and put it online. Not the first time.
What was a bit puzzling at first, though, is that the cover and inlay included in the .rar file definitely look scanned, and the Century media logo is on there. However, the catalog number doesn't really make sense, so the most logical conclusion is that someone is trying to make it look official. Most web hits point towards Russia, so there you go... But let us know if someone finds an actual physical copy of this - always interesting. |

Removed the link from the first post: the release mentioned is, in fact, there, and as far as I know all the material contained is copyrighted.
It's not the first time I see something like this, but it's the first time when it comes to DT. I'm perplexed by this (new?) habit of the so-called "scene" to release compilations of semi-rare material that are never going to come out in physical form: it's not really difficult to hunt down the tracks one by one (indeed, I'm sure all of them are present in the equally illegal downloads of all respective special editions of the albums). Is everyone just really lazy like that?

Out of curiosity - did anyone come across a physical copy of this?
I think that there exists a "real" CD version of this. There are moiré patterns in the artwork, indicating that they scanned a real printed image (as opposed to one being made on a regular inkjet printer), and the perforations along the spine look machine made and aren't 100% aligned with the artwork either. Hard to imagine that someone would go through all that hassle to make it look authentic...Or maybe I'm just out of touch with how these things work nowadays. Either way, it's pretty weird to have something pretending to be a new album listed on all the torrent sites and download places... |
