NoLifeTilMetal Records Announce CD/Vinyl Reissue of MADROST Debut Maleficent
NoLifeTilMetal Records has announced the CD and vinyl re-issue of 2012 debut album Maleficent from Southern California progressive thrashers Madrost. The remastered album will be released on May 28.
Both the vinyl and CD re-issues were remastered by Rob Colwell (Bombworks Sound). The CD will feature an expanded booklet and an exclusive bonus track ("Perceptual Constancy"). This vinyl will be limited to only 100 copies on 180g black vinyl. The CD is a jewel case edition with 8-page booklet, limited to a 300-piece pressing.
Pre-orders are available now HERE. The first 50 pre-orders will receive a limited edition reflective Madrost sticker.
Founded in the summer of 2007, Madrost is a progressive death thrash act focused on precision songwriting and an energetic diverse approach to their sound. Influenced by the likes of Metal Church, Death, ELP, Believer, Coroner, Mekong Delta and Iron Maiden, the band has transformed from a straight-forward thrash/death style to incorporating a wide range of other instruments and time signatures into their own unique sound and style. Madrost signed with NoLifeTilMetal Records in 2020 and released their fourth album, the progressive thrash masterpiece Charring The Rotting Earth.
Maleficent was initially released in 2012 as an independent CD-R release and has been out of print and out of circulation for years. Unlike the band's more recent releases, Maleficent is a more straight-forward thrash/death metal album. The album featured furious riffs, blistering speed, shredding guitar solos and vicious, biting vocals.
