AVENGER "Prayers Of Steel/Depraved To Black Box" - LIMITED VINYL BOX EDITION - Cover, Tracklist, releasedate: 27th October 2017

The release date of the AVENGER albums „Prayers Of Steel“ and "Depraved To Black" on limited vinyl Box-edition is October 27th, 2017. The pre-order phase will start on October 13th, 2017 in our webshop. The Box is limited to 100 copies. The Boxset includes: 1 Doublevinyl "Prayers Of Steel" (orange/black Split) with 12 Bonustracks and Gatefold, 1 Vinyl "Depraved To Black" (gray/silver Split) wozj 4 Bonustracks and Insert, 1 T-Shirt and 1 lanyard.

By calling the name AVENGER aficionados of teutonic 80s Speed Metal go wild for more than three decades now. Hailing from Herne, with „Prayers Of Steel“ the quartet released a genre classic through Wishbone Records in spring 1985, that can’t be compared to anything. Sold out for many years, now there will be a double LP reissue through Pure Steel, packed with the second demo and some rehearsal stuff as bonus and limited to 566 copies. Even after 31 years, anthems such as „Battlefield“, „Prayers Of Steel“, „Faster Than Hell“ and „Assorted By Satan“ didn‘t lose anything of their initial power. The fast and raw drumming by Jörg Michael as well as the striking high pitched vocals of a young and wild Peavy Wagner are outstanding attributes, which are missing on releases of nowadays newcomer bands. Unfortunately, the band name should not last long since the young group wanted to avoid legal disputes with a British band of the same name. A renaming to Rage one year later seemed to be the only way out. What followed was German Metal history, which began with this masterpiece.

Also the EP „Depraved To Black“, originally released shortly after „Prayers Of Steel“, in August ’85 through Wishbone Records, is going to be released again on LP through us. Beside the high speed smashers „Down To The bone“ and the title track, there were two live versions of the album classics „Prayers Of Steel“ and „Faster Than Hell“, recorded at Metropol Aachen in spring 1985. Combined on one side for the original EP, the B side of our re-release is going to present the complete „Faster Than Hell“ demo from 1983; containing a non album track with „Destination Day“.

RAGE "Execution Guaranteed" - LIMITED DOUBLE VINYL EDITION - Cover, Tracklist, releasedate: 22nd June 2018

The release date of the RAGE album „Execution Guaranteed“ on limited double vinyl edition is June 22nd, 2018. The pre-order phase will start on June 8th, 2018 in our webshop. The Album will release in a limited Edition of 350 black and 150 transparent red/black splatter copies with 9 Bonustracks and Gatefold on double vinyl.

After we already did the debut “Reign Of Fear” from ’86 now there’s also a vinyl reissue of the second album “Execution Guaranteed” by Power/Speed legends RAGE from Herne/Germany. Released as double pack with gatefold cover - including the remixed version (Tommy Hansen) on the first LP and the original 1987 mix (Andi Musolf) on the second disc - now there’s the possibility for everyone to pick his own favourite.

Starting with the hyper fast “Down By Law” Peavy and his horde take no prisoners and Speed Metal bangers will directly be reminded back to glory old times. With the groovy title track RAGE deliver a perfect anthem in a great mid-tempo, continued by also great songs: “Street Wolf” shows up a decent dark flair, “Deadly Error” starts with a beautiful acoustic intro and with “When You’re Dead” the quartet deliver a great up-tempo smasher to end up this record. During the whole album Peavy is screaming like a maniac and the rhythm section around Jörg Michael sometimes is “faster than hell”, like they sung back in AVENGER.

Now fans of the good old-fashioned Teutonic Speed Metal or people that want to nurse their Noise first pressing from now on have the only chance to buy after 31 years.
