OMEN – Metal Blade To Reissue Classic Albums On Vinyl

Unsung heroes in the world of heavy metal, Omen are for sure beholders of the flame until this very day. Around for more than 30 years, still playing live and releasing albums, their debut album Battle Cry is one of the best pure heavy metal albums in the history of music! 

The two follow-up albums Warning Of Danger and The Curse are fan-favorites as well, all released on Metal Blade Records between 1984 and 1986.

It's about time for some proper reissues, for the first time ever all three albums will be manufactured as Digi-CDs. Battle Cry and Warning Of Danger will feature bonus tracks, while The Curse will have the entire Nightmares EP (originally released in 1987) as a bonus. All three Digi-CDs will be available on Mid-Price and include 18-page poster booklets.

The vinyl are part of the Metal Blade Originals series that started in early 2016 with the reissues of the Slayer titles Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, Haunting The Chapel and Live Undead.

All three Omen albums will be released with 400g heavy cardboard spine sleeves (inside out print), 60x60cm two-sided artwork posters and 250g inserts.
