If they add extra content to these reissues that wasn't in the initial release, I'm gunna be fucking pissed.

Album out today.

Do you own it? How does the remaster sound? And what's the new mix like?

It's on the way...

I've been spending time working on my multichannel audio collection and boxed sets, going back through and filling in gaps of things I've missed along the way. One of the items that may be of interest to those here, that while it's been out for almost 2 years, I don't see mentioned in a forum search: a 4-CD deluxe edition of Dio's Holy Diver, on Rhino Records.

It contains a remixed version of the album done by Joe Barresi (producer and mixer for Tool, Slipknot, Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden and others), a 2022 remaster of the original CD, a live CD, and a CD of outtakes, singles, and B-sides.

Available on Amazon for $43.28: https://www.amazon.com/Diver-Barresi-Remix-Super-Deluxe/dp/B0B1QVBDSK

Love it... a shame they couldn't work with a proper record label.

New album out July 5.

Damn. That's one of the hardest things about getting old(er)... watching icons that you (figuratively) grew up with fall prey to malady and old age. Sadly, we're going to see more and more of this. Sigh.

Dafuq??? Apparently they released an album in November 2023...

Fixed. I'll leave this thread up for a few days before deleting.

I dig this bigly.

Not particularly within the HH boundaries, but decent atmospheric stuff IMO.

I don't think anyone can be angry about this (or I hope not, but this is 2024 after all). The man's been through a lot, and has done a lot despite his health issues.

Not too fucking bad for a bunch of youngsters...

And their first video that came out a month ago:

No idea who the hell this band is, but better than I expected.

Manowar, 2024 edition?

A bit overdue, sorry about that. Click on any album cover below to go over to the main site and listen.

Based upon the intro, the vocals are NOT what I was expecting... interesting stuff IMO.

Not gunna like, I dig it. It's not my normal listening preference, but it's solid musically.

Weren't the Dirty Americans on the site at one point?

I just did a search of an old data snapshot, and I don't see any reference to "Dirty Americans" anywhere.
