vu sur VFTDS
Century Media Records have just re-issued a bunch of their Death Metal classics due to the fact that most of them have been unavailable for quite some time now. And the good thing is: each one of them is being sold for about 10,- Euro now! Instead of analysing the music here again (which would be pretty useless as almost everyone of you will be familiar with them anyway), we decided to give you all the necessary information about how the re-issues differ visually from the originals and what kind of bonus material they have to offer:
ASPHYX - The Rack (79:08min)
The logo is a bit smaller now and was moved from top middle to top right, while a different section of the full artwork was used for the frontcover (unfortunately too blurry and dark). The foldout booklet lacks the thanx list of the original release, but features all the lyrics, various color shots (live- and promopics) and a big bandpicture on the flipside. Bonus material: 11 ASPHYX live tracks that got recorded in Holland, 1991. On sale here.
ASPHYX - Last One On Earth (74:21min)
The color of the logo was changed from red to white and the quality of the artwork turned out a bit worse. The album's title is no longer on top of the logo, but is now centered at the bottom of the front-cover. The whole layout was inked into a dark blue, the lyrics are included, but the backcover pic and thanxlist is missing. The frontcover artwork of the "Crush The Centotaph" EP ended up on the booklet's backside, but turned into blue as well and not in its entirety. Bonus material: the 5 tracks off the "Crush The Cenotaph" EP as well as 3 songs off a self-titled ASPHYX promo demo that got them the deal with Century Media. On sale here.
GRAVE - You'll Never See (59:48min)
The album title was downsized a bit and printed in an old white font, instead of the big orange letters that got used on the original release. The logo is in white now (the original was orange as well) and moved from top left to top right. The entire artwork was enlarged to fit the full frontcover now, but its quality unfortunately suffered as it became way too dark now. The booklet was turned into a fold out version, features all the lyrics, but lacks the individual member live shots (the bandpic from the "And Here I Die" EP backside was used instead, while the EP cover - into a dark red now - can be found behind the CD in the crystal box). Bonus material: the 6 tracks off GRAVE's "And Here I Die" EP. On sale here.
GRAVE – Soulless (43:41min)
The album now comes with a white logo, instead of an orange one and the frontcover artwork has been inked into a dark red. The backcover looks less chaotic due to its overall darker approach and features the original booklet's backside (also turned into a dark red). The songtitles are better readable because of this. The booklet itself lacks the individual member shots but has got a bandpicture in the middle instead. All lyrics are still included. Bonus material: the promotional video clip for 'Soulless'. On sale here.
UNLEASHED - Shadows In The Deep (63:14min)
The golden band logo that got used on the frontcover of the original release has been replaced with a white logo now, while the quality of the artwork unfortunately doesn't match the quality of the original release. The backcover pic and thanxlist is completely missing now and the booklet was turned into a foldout version with various full colour live pics, a bandpic, lyrics and the album's artwork in "poster" size on the flipside of it. Bonus material: 6 tracks off the "Live In Vienna '93" album. On sale here.
UNLEASHED – Victory (53:45min)
The album's frontcover received a black background around it now, but as with almost all these re-releases the quality of the artwork has gone worse (a bit too dark and kind of blurry). The booklet is pretty close to the one of the original release, also a foldout with a bunch of pics (some in colour now) and the lyrics, only layouted differently. The thanx list is missing though. Bonus material: 6 tracks off the "Eastern Blood – Hail To Poland" live album. On sale here.
UNLEASHED – Warrior (41:12min)
"Warrior" is no longer a digipack, a different font was used for the album- and songtitles and unlike with all the other re-releases, the quality of the frontcover turned out for the better (brighter and more clear now). The booklet is similar to the original version, a foldout, but layouted differently and another picture. I prefer the original version here. Bonus material: none. On sale here.

ces Grave là on s'en fout, c'est la Ere qu'il fallait ressortir..bien bourrin ce disque. A part le 1er, unleashed c'est pas un incontournable du death. Par contre il vont réediter resurrection absurd/eternal fall de MORGOH.
Sympa..vais enfin pouvoir jeter une oreille sur The Rack

Les deux premiers Grave sont des références pour moi.
