(PR) Metal Mind Productions presents two remastered albums by the pioneers of death metal in Poland: Dragon. Two albums, "Fallen Angel" from 1990 and "Scream Of Death" from 1991, originally released by the UK label Music For Nations, will be available again in a digipak edition, limited to numerated 2000 copies, digitally remastered using 24-bit process will be released on 19th May in Europe and 8th July in USA (via MVD)..
The LP "Fallen Angel" was constructed in a way that makes it pretty close to being a concept album. All seven tracks are dedicated to different aspects of, and different views on, the issue of Evil and the presence of Satan in the modern world. The grim atmosphere of the lyrics is strengthened by the apocalyptic music, extreme in every way. Full of technically complex tempos, highly extended, multi-dimensional compositions, as well as fleeting and elusive motives – hard to comprehend. As a dark vade mecum on evil and the image of Satan, "Fallen Angel" was seen by some as blasphemous and the band was branded as devil worshippers. The apocalyptic vision of the future became the theme of Dragon's next album, "Scream of Death". The strict concept conjoining all the lyrics into one post-nuclear tale is illustrated by disturbing sounds of string instruments and a rhythm pattern unusual for metal, as also enriched by some more complex vocal performances. Alll these things make up for a dynamic missile destroying many rigid standards. The "Scream of Death" period brought the band into their full artistic maturity. It was then that the dreams about popularity, being accepted by the media, giving regular concerts and receiving good reviews in musical press abroad came true. The band functioned on the international arena unscarred by the Polish provincialism.
Both titles feature bonus masterial. "Fallen Angel" includes 5 bonus tracks taken from the Polish language version of the album while "Scream of Death" includes 5 bonus tracks recorded live at the Jarocin Festival '92. This classic material will be released on 19th May in Europe and 8th July in USA (via MVD).
