Classic ACROPHET Albums To Be Reissued In Digipak Editions
January 10, 2008, 16 years ago
Metal Mind Productions reports:
"Out of several releases that came out during the Golden Age of thrash metal, ACROPHET was definitely not just another face in the crowd. In fact, they were one of the few bands which helped to form a genre called by some ‘speedcore’ - an intense mixture of speed/thrash metal with hardcore.
Back in the 80’s, when such combinations were still considered highly controversial, Acrophet stood as pioneers. And today Metal Mind Productions re-release two albums from the discography of this unique band - Corrupt Minds and Faded Glory.
Corrupt Minds, the widely acclaimed debut album from 1988, to this day is considered as the band’s trademark - shredding guitars, insanely fast drums and hardcore-style vocals blend here in one raging mixture of speed and aggression. Faded Glory, the band’s second album from 1990, delivered a more metal-oriented material - the songs are definitely more inspired by the Bay Area thrash pioneers. Nevertheless, the unique style of Acrophet’s music is still present, making Faded Glory a solid offering for any speedcore fan.
Classic material from Triple X archives will be released in a digipak edition limited to numerated 2,000 copies. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on golden disc. Both titles will be available on February 4th in Europe and on April 15th in US (via MVD).
The tracklistings: Corrupt Minds - 'Intro To Corruption', 'Corrupt Minds', 'Slaves Of Sin', 'From The Depths', 'Lifeless Image', 'Crowd Distress', 'Crime For Living', 'Holy Spirit', 'Living In Today', 'Ceremonial Slaughter', 'Warped Illusions', 'Forgotten Faith', 'Victims Of The Holocaust'.
Faded Glory (artwork pictured): 'When Time Stands Still', 'Dependency', 'Silent Insanity', 'Legend Has It', 'Dead All Day', 'The American Zone 1990', 'Independence At It's Finest', 'Return To Me Life', 'Innocent Blood', 'Forever The Fall', 'Haunting Once Again'.
