DESOLATION ANGELS

Work continues feverishly on this our next release, long awaited and over three years in the making from initial contact with the band to compiling, mastering and creating artwork, this release will set new standards in underground metal releases. The final audio mastering of the 4 CD boxset is complete, and both band and label are more than happy with the finished results, the best description would be simply skullcrushing.

For those of you who have never encountered the unstoppable force that was DA, you are in for a heavy metal holocaust of biblical proportion!! Guitarists KEITH SHARP and ROB BRANCHER have worked their knuckles to the bone at our bequest to sift through countless hours of Demo's, Live recordings and thousands of photo's to bring you 56 songs over 4 CDs. Featured tracks include the bands first ever demo from 1980, the Unreleased LP session from 1992, The "FURY" demo from 1987, and much, much more. The set will have a 28 page booklet with many photo's, band history and anecdotes chronicling their myriad of adventures.

In other related news, the identity of the bootlegger of the bands first album onto CD has been revealed as the subhuman shithead of UNISOUND records in GREECE. We openly encourage PANOS of UNISOUND to come to England where we will be happy to beat him to death with lengths of Lead piping. Come on PANOS, we'll even pay your fucking air fair over here!!!
It has to be said, that his terrible and substandard quality bootleg is STEALING from the band. People who buy these releases (And all the other shitty ones of many NWOBHM and US metal rarities he has a hand in) are NOT helping legitimate labels in any way in their objective to resurrect the glorious legacy's of many an 80's band. Instead, you are funding a small group of criminals to make a huge profit from other peoples work. Our message is thus : buy these bootlegs, you are simply fucking STUPID and as GUILTY as the bootleggers themselves.
