ALTAR, CARTILAGE – 1992 Split Album To Be Reissued By Xtreem Music
July 22, 2015, 8 years ago
It was in 1992 when two promising bands from the Swedish and Finnish death metal scenes, released a split album, that now, 23 years later, it's one of the most cult splits ever released in the early ‘90s. Unfortunately, Cartilage never recorded anything after that and although Altar did a few demos later on, they disbanded shortly after.
But the legacy still lives here and this split album originally released through former Xtreem Music label Drowned Productions, gets a re-issue in form of a double CD with seven bonus tracks by each band taken from their early demos, a total of 14 songs from each one.
All songs have been remastered (not remixed!) for an optimal sound, preserving the essence from the originals and this release comes with a new cover artwork, a remake of the original one made by cult Finnish artist Turkka G. Rantanen. Of course, original cover art is included on the release and booklet comes with extra photos, flyers and demo covers to complete this cult re-issue. A vinyl version with the original split album tracks will follow in the future.
Release date for the 2CD split album is set for August 20 via Xtreem Music.
Altar – “Nothing Human”:
Cartilage – “Why Do I Watch The Dawn?”
