MONUMENTUM NEWSLETTER OCTOBER 24, 2007 Hello and welcome to the second newsletter for Monumentum. The new imprint label from Reflections Records, specializing in all that is metal and underground. We're still working on our official website www.monumentumrecords.com but that will be up very soon. In the meantime we can announce the following exciting news... NEWS HEADLINES • BLACK ANVIL on Monumentum Records ! • POSSESSED – SEVEN CHURCHES. LP Limited Edition Re-release! PRE-ORDERS UP NOW! • EXODUS – BONDED BY BLOOD. LP Limited Edition Re-release! PRE-ORDERS UP NOW! • NIHILL – KRACH. 2LP/ CD out now ! RAVING REVIEWS! • FEATURED ITEMS IN OUR ONLINE STORE • UPCOMING SHOWS BLACK ANVIL on Monumentum Records ! We're very excited to announce the signing of New York City ' s BLACK ANVIL to our roster. Influenced by the godfathers of the current (black) metal scene, Celtic Frost, Venom, Possessed , Darkthrone and Messiah and the underworld of one of the biggest cities of the world, Black Anvil lurks in the shadows of the city and deliberately waits for their vicious attack of sinister thrash/ black metal. It would be easiest to name the people behind Black Anvil to make people show interest, but this new band from New York City , USA , will have the music speak for itself. The band is currently writing songs for their debut album to be released early next year. Visit the band's official MySpace at www.myspace.com/blackanvilny POSSESSED – SEVEN CHURCHES. LP Pre-order now! A description for an absolute classic album in the history of heavy metal like this would in fact be total unnecessary… Possessed's debut album Seven Churches hit like a nuclear bomb in the metal scene worldwide, and even though the band Death was formed at the same time as Possessed it took them two years later to release their debut album, so many consider POSSESSED's debut “SEVEN CHURCHES” (that was originally released in 1985) as the blueprint for what later would become a whole new genre within the world of heavy music: Death Metal. From the opening track “The Excorcist” the band grabbed metalfans all over the world by the throat and didn't let go until the last song, remarkably titled “Death Metal”,was finished. Now, after years being only to be found on 2nd hand record fairs or Ebay, this masterpiece is re-released in a gatefold sleeve, including all the lyrics! POSSESSED – SEVEN CHURCHES. LP Pre-order now! Shipping November 27, 2007 EXODUS – BONDED BY BLOOD. LP Pre-order now ! Next to Metallica's “Kill ‘Em All” and Slayer's “ Show No Mercy” there was one other record that not only set the whole world of heavy metal ablaze, but also can be considered as a genre defying album: Exodus' “Bonded By Blood”. As furious as their Bay Area counterparts, and with machinegun riffs from Gary Holt and Rick Runolt and then absolute madman on vocals, Paul Baloff (rip) Exodus delivered a debut album that now, more than 20 years later can be considered as an absolute classic. Now, after been unavailable on vinyl for years and only to be found on recordfairs and auction-sites, we're very proud to announce the re-release of Exodus – Bonded By Blood on vinyl packaged in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with all the original pictures and lyrics. EXODUS – BONDED BY BLOOD. LP Pre-order now! Shipping November 27, 2007 NIHILL – KRACH. 2LP/ CD Out Now ! Raving Reviews! KRACH, released as a double LP and CD being the first part of a trilogy (!) from a band that may be unknown to many but have been preparing themselves for a long time before they finalized their dark arts and have it exposed to the world. Nihill, inspired by medievall alchemistry and the darkest depths of the human soul. Almost impossible for any comparisons, Nihill could however be descibed as a grimm mixture of Sunn O))) and Deathspell Omega. “Krach” is an album that needs to be experienced to have it reach its full potential. If that potential ultimately will be that in emotions of happiness is not exactly guaranteed… The 2LP is limited to 500 copies only , all on the darkest black and comes in a gatefold cover and includes a poster (part of a trilogy). Here's some reviews written about NIHILL's Krach: “A dark and intense piece of music... Anxious for the two following albums!” 8/10 www.metal.de “Krach is an album that leaves you feeling paranoid!” 8/10 Zero Tolerance Magazine “Atmospheric and conceptional really good” Legacy Magazine 10/ 2 “Nihill's debut album mixes together Death Spell Omega like occultic blacked riff craft with more stretched dark ambient, horrific soundtrack elements and slight doom edges, all topped off with grim theatrical and often downright chilling vocal performances.” www.omnius.com "Hypnotic riffing not unlike Leviathan and Twilight with ambient soundscapes. Looking forward to part II and II - 89/100 www.zwaremetalen.com Order the CD and the 2LP from the Reflections Online Store Also check out the NIHILL t-shirt we have. Logo on the front, medieval drawing on the back.

En waarom limited editions uitbrengen van platen waar er honderdduizenden van verkocht zijn |
|
Dan kun je ze voor meer geld verkopen, ipv de standaard prijs? Ik weet voor geen meter wat die originele lp's opbrengen op oa ebay, dat dan weer niet, maar het lijkt me dat zo'n gelimiteerd ding goedkoper is als een originele plaat, maar duurder als hij niet zo gelimiteerd zou zijn, hehe. “Leef met vlag en wimpel, maar houd het simpel’ |
|
As in SPAM? "Life Is Much More Beautiful, When It Means Nothing At All" |
|
Bonded By Blood lp origineel kost je nog geen € 15 op ebay... |
|
Nu is het wachten op de prijs van de rerelease. Ik ben benieuwd. “Leef met vlag en wimpel, maar houd het simpel’ |

Alleen Possessed-7 Churches is de moeite waard om op vinyl te re-releasen. De originele, op Combat records is inmiddels moeilijk te vinden. LP Possessed-Seven Churches USA 1985 USA Combat; MX8024; embossed Cover; original 60 € De Exodus is nog wel makkelijk te vinden, zeker op Music For Nations, onnodig te re-releasen. LP Exodus Bonded By Blood USA 1985 USA Torrid/Combat; MX8019; innersleeve; twins cover 20 € |

quote: are you joking? € 60?! Ik heb er ooit vier gehad...toen ik nog meer platen kocht om de porto. Hahaha. Heb er nu nog maar één, mint, maar het lijkkt me sterk..zestig euro. edit; ben überhaupt benieuwd of hier markt voor is... [Dit bericht is gewijzigd door Spirit In Black op 24-10-2007 23:42] |

quote: No, i,m not joking, de plaat heeft een cultstatus (het logo is geperst naar de buitenkant). Voorbeeldoit werdt de Avatar-City beneath the Surface verkocht in Nederland voor 5 gulden. Inmiddels op platenbeurzen voor 150 euro. Mocht je de 7 churches USA pressing voor 30-40 euro vinden dan moet je hem direkt kopen. Ik snap dat sommige mensen het bedrag niet waard vinden, toch zijn er genoeg mensen die dit de ultieme DEATH METAL Klassieker vinden, waardoor de verkoopwaarde hoger ligt. |

Gaat iemand de naam van dit topic gelijk aanpassen naar "Monumentum Records Nieuws" of opent hij eerst een paar topics die vervolgens op slot gaan met met een subtiele "Dat kan ook wel hier" verwijzing naar dit topic? Complete tokkie die lijdt aan zware zelfoverschatting. |
|
Tja, een CD-topic? http://www.scrotum.tk Überhammer |

anders janken jullie allemaal je ballen uit de broek??? Goede zaak dat die re-releases er komen. Tuurlijk zijn de originele nog wel te krijgen, maar deze re-release gaat er wat luxer uit zien, problemen mee? Leuk voor de verzamelaar of de persoon die ze destijds niet gekocht heeft of te lui is om ze op te zoeken... Ik ga ze wel halen, ook al heb ik de originele al, niks mis mee, het blijven vette platen... je hoeft het ding toch niet te kopen of wel dan? niemand houdt een pistool tegen je kop en zegt: Kopen! Collectively the Village People have sold 85 million albums and singles, and they regularly tour Australia. |

Cool initiatief... We don't take it, we just fake it... |
