GREAT NEWS for our Japanese fans! "Angelmaker" will be released in Japan by Rubicon Music. The Japanese version will have two bonus tracks: "Brand New Sinner" and "Ahow Your Love", only available on the vinyl album "The Angelmaker's Daughter". It will of course also have a slightly different artwork.

In addition to this the Lion Music Japan Earthquake benefit CD "Embrace The Sun", featuring the exclusive Overdrive track "New Beginning (Arata Na Staato)" is available through mail order and iTunes! Buy it and support Japan!

WARNING! There are Russian counterfeits out on the market. The Rock Treasures versions of "Metal Attack" and "Swords And Axes" have been counterfeit and are now sold on the internet. You can spot it's a bootleg if the Rock Treasures logo on the CD itself is cut off (on the original that black background goes closer to the center and the logo is complete). Fick the counterfeits and order the re-press with loads of bonus material from us instead! We'll even sign it for you :-)

On another note the Lion Music compilation in support for the Japanese Rec Cross featuring the new non-album Overdrive track "New Beginning (Arata Na Statto)" will be released on June 17.

2011-05-06
We have just recorded a new track! It's entitled "New Beginning (Arata Na Stato) " that will be featured on a Japan benefit CD released by Lion Music. It actually features Per singing some Japanese phrasese, too!
