"RED, WHITE, and HEAVY" demo series

Stormspell · Post by **Stormspell** » Sun Sep 08, 2013 4:30 am

All good things come to an end, and so does RWH. Last two volumes to wrap the series are:

CRYPTIC AXE / ORDAINED FATE - Demo compilation CD

A power metal quartet (3 ladies and a dude) from Chicago area who cut some epic demos before changing their name to ORDAINED FATE in late 80s and releasing a couple of self-financed albums before fading away.

The demos were a LOT more raw and powerful than the albums. An amazing female-fronted epic power metal with Christian message for fans of ACID, early WARLOCK, POWERS COURT, CIRITH UNGOL, etc.

P.S. The cover-art shown above is from the back side of the booklet. The front cover is yet to be drawn.

Audio samples to be uploaded on our Bandcamp page shortly: http://stormspell.bandcamp.com/

FORGOTTEN DISCIPLE - Last Train to Heaven CD

Arcane 80s melodic heavy metal from Bay Area, featuring members from cult acts such as RELLIK, RAPID FIRE, HELLHOUND, TYTON, etc. Contains previously unreleased EP and demos from 1990-1991. Artwork by Marvel/DC Comic artist Bob McLeod

The inevitable "when" question...

The usual "Soon" answer.

Seriously, I'm having a 17 new releases out next Tuesday, and things are just too hectic at the moment to figure out when. Hoping for X-mas, but its very tentative and maybe optimistic.

Audio samples added. Check them out and let me know what you think. Please disregard the audio quality and production - those are rough unmastered samples.

I guess CHALICE never worked out, or did I miss that one?

Your guess is as good as mine. I have all the best intentions to see it done and it will be a top priority for sure, as soon/when/if I receive all materials...

We are looking into changing the band name now, to avoid potential problems with a current emo/mallcore band which is known to enforce the copyright ownership...

Great job as usual. I'll probably be the first customer from Canada again with a big order of the new releases when they are available.

Regarding the Disciple name, I would just leave it the way it is. I would be willing to bet money that a shitty mainstream emo group will never gain knowledge of a reissue of the material from an underground Metal band that used the moniker way before they did. It's not like your releases are available on itunes or at the local HMV.

Pre-orders and massive distro clearance $4.99 sale started already 5 days ago. Many Canadian customers have beaten you up to the honor already

I was made aware about the mallcore band from someone close to them after posting the Disciple info on a Christian metal forum. They already enforced another band to change their name, so I'm taking the high road even just to be on the safe side.

I think Disciple-1990 to 1991 is a good name.

Well, I don't do pre-orders but I'm sure you know what I meant...

A big thanks to you Iordan for this fantastic serie !!
It was really a great idea !

Any chance to have a RWH Part II in the future ??

They are so many great demos that remain unreleased ...

I'll have follow-up series for sure, I already got some amazing projects in the pipes. Including a band which in my opinion was the epitome of 80s US Power Metal, and they got tons of unreleased demos in addition to the cult EP everyone knows.

I just need to figure out a name for the follow-up series. Maybe this time I'll use green layout
