UNCLE SLAM - Say Uncle
One of our favorite 80's crossover thrash albums is being worked on and slated for reissue in January 2010. Uncle Slam's debut album, Say Uncle, was released in 1988 on LP and cassette and featured ex-Suicidal Tendencies drummer, Amery Smith.
The album was produced by metal veteran Randy Burns who is known for his work on metal classics such as Peace Sells…Who’s Buying? (Megadeth), Extreme Aggression (Kreator), Darkness Descends (Dark Angel), Survive (Nuclear Assault) and Seven Churches (Possessed).
Say Uncle also features the timeless illustrations by Michael Seiff (Suicidal Tendencies, No Mercy, Excel and Wasted Youth). Before disbanding in the mid 90's UNCLE SLAM eventually released three albums (Say Uncle, Will Work For Food and When God Dies).
We are excited to be releasing this long lost classic on CD for the first time outside Japan. It has been remastered by none other than Jamie King at The Basement Studios.
WIDOW - Midnight Strikes...Twice!
New reissue features the newly remastered album, original No Stone Unturned demo, new band interview plus enhanced footage of full 8 song live set from the Midnight Strikes era.
We originally released this album in 2003 and shocked many loyal Tribunal Records fans by serving up a dose of traditional metal following the likes of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest with a dash of modern Children Of Bodom flair.
Now in 2009 traditional metal is making huge comeback, but WIDOW have been carrying the torch having released 2 more album (On Fire and Nightlife via Cruz Del Sur Records) since Midnight Strikes' original release back in 2003.
ORACLE - Desolate Kings: The Oracle Anthology
ORACLE were a North Carolina metal band who released an EP entitled, Selah. It's been bootlegged several times, but this collection will be the first official release with band partcipation since it's original release nearly 20 years ago!
ORACLE features LINE OF FIRE's Shawn Pelata in his first band. For fans of classic US traditional christian metal.
We hope to have new band interviews and possibly some vintage live footage. This vault seems to be a tough one to crack! We will keep you posted.
We have some other "goodies" in the works as well, but cannot make official announcements just yet! We are hoping to make 2010 our biggest year yet!
Thanks to all the fans of classic hard rock/metal/thrash for helping to bring Divebomb Records to life!
