USURPER guitarist Rick Scythe has issued the following update:

"Greetings Necrocultists!

Due to popular demand, we just posted 2 new songs (actually old songs - but ’new’ in the sense that we’ve never posted them online before... and in all actually, not really due to popular demand, since only 1 guy requested them was our old drummer, Andy Von Chaos).

The songs are 'Metal Lust', 'Utopian Nightmare', both of which are from our 2003 Earache album, Twilight Dominion.

If you’ve never heard them before, the first one’s a classic metal anthem that Usurper performed at nearly every how since 2003. The other one ('Utopian Nightmare') was a B-side, which originally appeared on the B-side of the 45 'Metal Lust' single (which was only available in Asia at the time of Twilight Dominion's release). We later included the song on all US and European versions of TD after the original US/Europe pressings sold out.

Also: We just received the shipment of Threshold Of The Usurper vinyls and CD’s from Finland last week. So this week myself, (Rick Scythe) and General (vocals) are going to autograph about 50 vinyls and 50 CDs and put them up right here, exclusively on the myspace.com/usurpermetal page.

This will be the ONLY place to get a signed copy of this release by the two founding members/song writers of Usurper and the quantities will be extremely limited. We should have the PayPal info and all the pictures and ordering info posted next week. Please DO NOT send a message asking questions about, they will NOT be answered. If you would like to be considered for reserving a copy, leave a comment to this blog. If not, please check back in about a week or so.

• Threshold of the Usurper originally came out in 1997 on Necropolis Records on CD.

• In 1998, Merciless Records (Germany) released a limited edition picture disc vinyl of Threshold... complete with different cover art.

• In 1999, Mystic Records (Poland) released a split cassette version of Threshold... along with WAR’s Total War on the other side.

• In 2001 Blackened Records (England) released a split 2 CD version of Threshold (with Usurper’s Skeletal Season CD). The artwork, layout and version were NEVER approved by the band and was a big disappointment for die-hards looking for these 2 out-of-print albums.

• Now in 2008 Primitive Reaction (Finland) has done the Threshold of the Usurper release justice!
