Testament: Para bellum (Copper) [Gatefold / 2 Vinyl LP]

Warner Music are delighted to announce the release of a commemorative triple black vinyl album in honour of the 40th Anniversary of IRON MAIDEN's seminal third album, The Number Of The Beast, which was also the first to feature Bruce Dickinson on vocals and was to become the record which catapulted the band to international stardom. Included in the new vinyl package is Beast Over Hammersmith - available now officially for the very first time on vinyl - featuring the live concert from March 1982's now legendary Hammersmith Odeon London show from the Beast On The Road World Tour. Recorded only days before the release of The Number Of The Beast album, its remarkable to think these now classic songs at that time were still brand new, unfamiliar and being heard live by fans for the very first time. A real piece of history in the making.<br/><br/>The package features exclusive liner notes written by Maiden founder and bassist Steve Harris as well as restored and expanded artwork taken from the CD format of Beast Over Hammersmith, previously only available in the Limited Edition Eddie's Archive boxset originally released in 2002. <br/><br/>Steve Harris comments, <br/>"On this vinyl release we get the chance to put Total Eclipse in its rightful spot on the album for the first time. The reason it didn't make it in the first place was that it was all a mad rush when we were finishing the record and we had to get the Run to the Hills single out before the tour and we basically had to pick a B-side and it was between Gangland and Total Eclipse and we just picked the wrong one, really! I think Total Eclipse is a stronger song and the album would have been stronger if it had been on there."

Michael Schenker är en av rockvärldens mest kända gitarrister. Redan som tonåring gjorde han sig ett namn när han var med och bildade Scorpions. I mitten av 70-talet började Schenker så<br/>spela med UFO och när han sedan bildade MSG cementerade han sin roll som en av rockens mest tongivande gitarrister.<br/><br/>2024 släppte han ett album som hyllade hans år med UFO, men nu kommer ett helt nytt, efterlängtat studioalbum som fått titeln "Don't Sell Your Soul".<br/><br/>Bakom mikrofonen hittar vi ingen mindre än vår egen Erik Grönwall, sin generations allra bästa rockröst. Från H.E.A.T, via Skid Row, så har han bevisat att han är en frontman av rang. Grönwall delar på detta album sången med Robin McAuley, Dimitri 'Lia' Liapakis och Michael<br/>Voss.

180GR./4P INSERT/LIMITED EDITION ON RED & BLACK MARBLED VINYL.<br/><br/>This record signifies a bold leap forward for the band - from djenty riffs to melodies displaying our <br/>symphonic metal roots, with Bleed Out Within Temptation have created a sonic journey that delivers a fusion of diverse musical styles and thought-provoking themes.<br/><br/>Reflecting the tumultuous state of the world, the Dutch metallers have drawn inspiration from events such as the murder of Mahsa Amini in Iran and the war in Ukraine. Sharon: "The war in Ukraine has influenced us a lot. As artists we are inspired by the world, and we have this platform. We are storytellers, and I think as human beings, these are things we should be talking about."
