HEDSTONE (US) / Out Of The Crypt

マニア御用達レーベルArkeyn Steel Recordsリリース・タイトル入荷！取り急ぎレーベルのインフォを載せておきます。

The band became known in the underground scene, thanks to the song “Air Raid”: their participation on the “Chicago Metal Works, Battalion 2” compilation, released back in 1986 on Silver Fin Records (HAMMERON, PARADOXX etc). However, the band recorded many more songs. Songs that were included on the two demo tapes that the band produced: the “Six From The Crypt” demo (1987) and the untitled four song demo (1988). These tapes were never sold and only handed out to band members, fans and the local radio station. As you can easily imagine, those tapes quickly disappeared and the music of HEDSTONE became one of the most obscure secrets of the Chicago Metal scene.

Arkeyn Steel Records managed to track down the band and release all their recordings on one CD, in a limited eidtion of 500 hand numbered copies… “Out Of The Crypt” includes both the band’s demos plus the “Air Raid” track and some amazing bonus live recordings from “Thirsty Whales”, the legendary club where bands like HAMMERON, TYRANT’S REIGN and SLAUTER XSTROYES have delivered their steel, live!

Kostas Scandalis remastered all the material at Infinity Studios, for the best possible sound quality. Now the HEDSTONE anthems sound really great!

The front cover of the CD is based on the original banner that HEDSTONE used on their live shows back in the day. A complete biography including tons of info written by the band singer Kurt Slavik himself, can also be found in the booklet. Plus, lots of unreleased photos and of course song lyrics.

Get ready for HEDSTONE. Get ready for the perfect balance between melody and complexity, get ready for brilliant vocals and lead guitar parts, get ready for songs that stood the test of time and are now presented the way they should be, to bring your Mind Over Metal!

For fans of APOLLO RA, HAMMERON, OLIVER MAGNUM, SLAUTER XSTROYES.
