Century Media Records und InsideOutMusic freuen sich, das „erste Kapitel“ einer umfassenden Re-Issue-Kampagne für die legendären und bahnbrechenden Death Metaller Edge Of Sanity und die facettenreiche Prog/Hardrock-Formation Nightingale anzukündigen, die beide von dem schwedischen Sänger, Multi-Instrumentalisten und gefeierten Metal-Produzenten Dan Swanö (Opeth, Katatonia, Dissection, etc.) angeführt wurden.
Lange vergriffen, nie zuvor in gewissen Formaten oder in einer angemessen überarbeiteten Re-Issue-Version erhältlich und mit jeder Menge Extra-Material angereichert, werden diese definitiven Re-Issues von Swanö selbst neu gemastert und erstrahlen teilweise sogar durch zusätzliche Remixe als Bonus in neuem Licht.
Dan Swanö – der nicht nur seit langem für viele CMR-Künstler wie Asphyx, Skeletal Remains oder Insomnium für Mix/Mastering verantwortlich ist, sondern zuletzt auch mit der Band Witherscape über CMR musikalisch aktiv wurde (zwei Alben und ein Mini-Album zwischen 2013 und 2016) und 2014 auch sein letztes Nightingale-Album Retribution auf dem IOM-Label veröffentlichte – meldete sich mit folgendem Kommentar zur startenden Re-Issue-Kampagne:
“It’s hard to describe in words exactly how excited we all are about these re-issues for both Edge Of Sanity and Nightingale. It’s incredible that these albums are finally available again, with the attention to detail they always deserved and with a label like Century Media Records / InsideOutMusic behind us, we know that these releases will turn out amazing in the end and not be so hard to get a hold of like they used to be, and hopefully reach a new audience as well as the old!
Personally, I always hoped that there would come a time when I could revisit all these albums and have the time and budget to remaster or even remix them and be able to present them the way I wish they had sounded all along.
A lot of time, work and money have been put into making sure we have the best possible version of the original artwork to work with, and we searched everywhere for photographs and memorabilia. Endless hours have been spent talking and writing about these albums, resulting in super detailed liner notes for the Deluxe CD edition. Also, the lyrics have been double and tripled check, and it was quite amusing to see just how wrong most of them were both in the original booklets and online. The lyrics are in the booklets and on the inner sleeve of every re-issue!
I wholeheartedly hope you appreciate these new, improved and definitive versions of the entire Edge Of Sanity and Nightingale back catalogues!”
