Both CDs will come in a new digipack edition on golden discs, digitally remastered using 24-bit technology, and will be limited to a hand-numbered 2,000 copies. Each title includes two demo tracks as a bonus. The details are as follows:

It's pleasing to see that someone's willing to atone for Roadrunner's laziness by finally giving these two albums a proper re-release.

We'll maybe have the Metal legacy assured for the next generation after all ! Need more news like this.

[Mati]

Excellent news indeed... But... Why remaster, especially when it means 'compress until all life is sucked out' anyway?

[born for banning]

And why add two demo tracks that are duplicates of the ones on the CD? Same song twice, nearly in a row... no one designs rereleases for people to listen to. Its for collectors who probably will keep them shrink wrapped until their fat whiny wives demand they ebay them for their fat whiny children's college funds.

So apparently, Metal Mind is also releasing the first three Sadus records, in addition to a bunch of other old bands from Roadrunner's rotting back-catalogue:

Poland's Metal Mind Productions has signed a multi-record licensing deal with Roadrunner Records for the RR back-catalogue.

MMP will re-issue over 25 albums from the late '80s/early '90s, taken from the wide Roadrunner Records archives. The selection of bands includes SOLITUDE AETURNUS, CRIMSON GLORY, ATROPHY, HEATHEN, REALM, XENTRIX, DISINCARNATE, PESTILENCE, LAST CRACK, ZNOWHITE, SADUS, TOXIK, BULLDOZER and GORGUTS. This is a must-have for fans of good music — reissues of classic material in new digipack editions, each title limited to 2,000 copies, digitally remastered using 24-Bit process with bonus features like audio or video material, biography, liner notes from artists and more.

Tomasz Dziubinski, President of Metal Mind Productions commented: "It took us over two years to finalize this fantastic deal. When we first started to work with Roadrunner Records back in 1990 we were selling vinyl copies of those titles. Albums unavailable for over 15 years were sold in places like eBay for hundreds of dollars! This is a wonderful occasion to refresh those classic albums and present them to fans of good metal music in a new, improved version. We worked very hard with Roadrunner Records and the artists on achieving the best possible results.”

Yeah, I have original pressings of Piece of Time and Unquestionable Presence, then the re-release came out.  It kinda sucked, but at least I found them collecting dust in some boonie record shop and did not have to overpay for them.  The same thing happened to me with Disincarnate's DOTCK.

Still though, it's not all bad.  The Atheist reissues were very good, after all.  I bought the set on vinyl and, needless to say, I'm very pleased with it.

My hope is this new Gorguts set will also have a vinyl reissue.
