I'm not familiar with that CD-R release, must be something Kimmo has done on his own. In other news there is also a new MASQUERAGE coming out later this year. Described as "significantly heavier" compared to Backstabber.

Here's a mash-up teaser for the album: Teaser for the upcoming debut album "Shadow Man". Coming out soon via Stormspell records Backhill is a solo project by Kimmo Perämäki (Masquerage, Crow´s Flight, ex-Celesty) Kimmo Perämäki: vocals, guitars, keyboards & bass Marko Ylä-Häkkinen: drums Produced, recorded, mixed & mastered by Kimmo Perämäki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlD7rn_BXeA

Is it time yet

That's not true. Dave has screwed US customers too, I never received my last order from him back in the day. Luckily it was small enough. I don't think he did it on purpose, he was just extremely unorganized. I know people who has been to his house, wadding through piles of stock and countless envelopes all over on the floor, many of which never opened (this was back in the lday when people still used to send money orders).

US 80s Melodic Metal from Chicago, Demo anthology (1987-1990), coming out Fall 2014. For fans of REGIME, KINGSBANE, early QUEENSRYCHE, FATES WARNING, CRIMSON GLORY, etc.

My account is business and it got converted to the new layout two days ago. However, I was able to convert back to classic permanently after filling up some goofy survey trying to convince me the new layout is so much better...

It seems that ever since the update the customers do not receive tracking info once the shipping label is generated. And if it is a setting, does anyone knows where it is?

$10 is just about what it cost to ship one shirt from Bulgaria to USA via registered airmail, although registration is about the same phony thing compatible to USPS' "tracking" which only shows partial progress, if anything...

Actually this one: http://bestrocktshirts.com

There are multiple re-sellers on eBay, the Manufacturer is called Vision2000. All t-shirts are new repros, 100% bootlegs of course. Since the print is sublimated, the shirts are usually lightweight polyester or 50/50 at best; not the best garment for sure, but given they retail their shirts on Bulgarian market for $7-8 per pop, they are okay for the price and printing quality.

Sure, e-mail me at metal-at-stormspell-com and we'll arrange it.

It will be back once I find the time to overhaul the distro and have a new clearance sale. I'm still backlogged dealing with current orders, so it could take a while.

Yes it is available. Disregard the counter, I only put increments of 50 on the webstore at a time. I know the band has been boosting on Facebook it sold out, but that was only the first batch. The release itself is not going to be sold out anytime soon... http://stormspell.bigcartel.com/product/r-o-x-x-blind-in-vegas-2cd

Soon

Lovecraft and NWOBHM inspired classic metal for fans of IRON MAIDEN,TOKYO BLADE, ZYON’S ABYSS, early SCORPIONS, CLOVEN HOOF, STEELWING, ROCKA ROLLAS Coming out at the end of April Listen to audio samples here: http://stormspell.bandcamp.com/album/darkest-horrors-2

The problem with the demos is, they are basically a home-made recordings with drum computer. Good songs, but the production would definitely be a problem to warrant a stand-alone product. Therefore, I'm simply throwing them on a separate disc as free bonus to the 4-track EP (which is a proper studio recording). Thus the release, even though a double CD package with thick booklet, will be marketed and sold as an EP at $7.99

As per Joey's request the Warrant connection was never a focal point of our promotion.

Thanks for the support man, appreciated very much!

I'd understand if people dislike TARRGA's production as the master transfers Johnny had weren't the best quality. But that was all that's available, and those are basically demos and live songs to start with, so... Besides we really tried to make a solid overall packages with custom art, archive photos, tons of interesting liner notes, etc... it was really disappointing none of the bigger distros like Neh, Aor Heaven etc. didnt even bother to write back after sending them sample packages... In retrospect, if I could go back, I'd probably ditch some of the live tracks and scale it down to a single cd release. I really thought more people would like and appreciate the expanded packages... guess I was wrong. STUTZ I knew is not going to be a hot seller, but I like the band and did it anyways. We invested so much into it, making it 3 seprate discs with full-blown 12-page booklets, custom coverartworks. Bought equipment to handle the Beta-max masters (the band has recorded some of the songs on B-max master tapes using PCM convertors - the grandfather of the digital technology). Transfering, mixing, and mastering of 2" multi-track tapes, 1/4" master reels, etc. A lot of cash went into this one and close to two years work. Hopefully one day it will become sought-after and eGay "collectors" would shell crazy bucks for a copy

Legend is a possibility, although the demo is only 3 songs and I'm afraid it wont be enough to make a substantial release... After TARRGA release tanked so spectacularly not selling more than one-third of the pressing, even at current $5 clearance sale prices, I'm somewhat cautious into engaging in similar "die-hard" MHR releases.

I don't like having pre-orders, it only adds pressure and makes people cranky and unhappy if/when there are some delays etc. It will be added to the store once the CDs are manufactured and on hands, which should be soon enough. End of March or thereabouts. Youtube clip added to the initial post.

Can we also have the Bandcamp BBCode, please?

In that line of thought, a new Intrnational postal rate increase coming up on January 26th. USPS has not revealed the actual numbers yet...
