KILLING JOKE CLASSIC ALBUM FINALLY RE-ISSUED WITH TONNES OF BONUS MATERIAL ON CD + DVD & LIMITED COLOUR VINYL’S.

June 29, 2007

KILLING JOKE CLASSIC ALBUM FINALLY RE-ISSUED WITH TONNES OF BONUS MATERIAL ON CD + DVD & LIMITED COLOUR VINYL’S.
This monster of a Killing Joke album is finally re-issued & completely re-mastered after being unavailable for many years on any format. Originally released in 1990 on the German Noise International label, “Extremities” was Killing Joke’s comeback album after a long hiatus. This is a truly superb piece of work from a highly influential band. This, a definite fans favourite showed that the band had bounced back to form & it re-asserted themselves to the top of the intense music tree. Geordie Walker’s guitars beautifully wash and crash like dark waves over the pounding and relentless drums of Martin Atkins, pulsing deep bass lines layer the effect with Jaz
Colemans almost Pulpit breaking vocal sermons grabbing the listeners attention by the throat. A classic Killing Joke album not to be missed!  Released 29/10/2007 

Special Limited edition version features:
1) 40 page booklet with interview with Jaz Coleman, rare photos, sleeve notes, lyrics.
2) Clam box with CD packaged in inner digi pack.
3) Disc two - Dual Disc featuring 5 extra tracks plus DVD of “Money Is Not Our God” promo clip.
4) Limited to 3000 copies worldwide.

Standard Version
Double CD set with same track listing and Video is featured as DVD, 20 page booklet.

Kiss Unleashing Second Volume Of ‘Kissology’ DVD

June 29, 2007

Kiss Unleashing Second Volume Of ‘Kissology’ DVD
Kiss

June 28, 2007, 10:50 AM ET

Greg Prato, N.Y.
Kiss will follow up its wildly successful 2006 DVD box set, “Kissology: Volume One, 1974-1977,” on Aug. 14 with a second volume chronicling 1978-1991 via VH1 Classic Records.

“It’s fantastic that ‘Volume One’ of ‘Kissology’ has done huge numbers, but does it surprise me? No, not at all,” Kiss guitarist Tommy Thayer tells Billboard.com. “This is Kiss in its early raw form, four guys with the hunger and fire, aspiring to take on the world. All this great footage is finally available and it’s exciting.”

“Volume Two” will be comprised of three DVDs and a fourth disc that will vary by retailer. The first disc will feature a news special on the band from 1978 and an infamous 1979 interview with Tom Snyder, with other elements still pending, according to Kiss’ Web site.

One of the more intriguing features in the set is “Kiss in Attack of the Phantoms” on disc one, the previously unseen European theatrical version of the 1978 cult classic film known in the U.S. as “Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park.”

The second disc shows Kiss in transition, as it features the last promo video to with original drummer Peter Criss (”Shandi”). His replacement, Eric Carr, is behind the kit for a complete November 1980 concert at Australi’s Sydney Showground. Also included are the only live renditions of material from the strangest studio album to bear the Kiss logo, “(Music From) The Elder,” taped on the late-night show “Fridays” in 1982.
 

Disc three chronicles Kiss’ comeback via a mammoth outdoor gig in Rio de Janeiro from June 1983, one of its last in makeup. Also included is Kiss’ infamous “unmasking” on MTV from later that year, a handful of performances from the Lick It Up and Crazy Nights tours and a full 1990 show from Detroit.

Asked why “Volume 2″ doesn’t include any complete shows from the Lick It Up or Asylum tours, Thayer explains, “We chose the best songs from those concerts. Remember, the ‘Volume Two’ DVD is over seven hours long and from tour to tour, many of the same songs are played, so you have to pick the choice songs and moments without being too repetitive. When you create a DVD package there are time considerations — you can only physically put so much on a DVD disc, and each volume of ‘Kissology’ is designed in advance to be a three-disc set.”

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SOULFLY, BAD BRAINS Members Featured On New ILL BILL ALBUM

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SOULFLY, BAD BRAINS Members Featured On New ILL BILL ALBUM

Howard Jones (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE), Max Cavalera (SOULFLY, SEPULTURA), and HR and Darryl Jenifer (BAD BRAINS) are among the guest musicians who appear on the new album from Brooklyn’s own ILL BILL. Due on September 11 via Uncle Howie Records/Perfect Game Recording Co., “The Hour of Reprisal” features cover art by Larry Carroll, the man behind SLAYER’s “Reign In Blood”, “South of Heaven”, “Seasons in the Abyss”, and “Christ Illusion” covers, and includes a bonus DVD of ILL BILL’s wild set at the historic CBGB club in New York City. The DVD also features a guided tour of every historic filthy inch of CBGB hosted by ILL BILL himself.

For “The Hour of Reprisal”, ILL BILL brought in the most special guests and friends, including Jones, Cavalera, HR and Darryl Jenifer, Raekwon the Chef (WU-TANG CLAN), B-Real (CYPRESS HILL), Everlast (HOUSE OF PAIN), Necro, Immortal Technique, Vinnie Paz (JEDI MIND TRICKS), Tech N9ne, and Slaine (LA COKA NOSTRA), making the album an all-star display of rap and metal talent. The album also features several amazing producers, including Necro, DJ Lethal, Muggs, T-Ray and tracks by Ill Bill himself.
