I Warlord, dopo aver pubblicato l'annuncio dell'annuncio stile DeMaio, nella sostanza ma non nella forma, svelano oggi
le novità previste per il 2013: non l'uscita di un album, non l'uscita di due album, ma l'uscita di ben tre album:
-il nuovo album, 8 tracce da 55 minuti (come se fosse già mio);
-un doppio album live CD + BluRay disc;
-una riedizione di "Rising out of the Ashes" con "orchestrazione completa tastiera e cori;
Insomma, in un periodo di mega produzioni (o riproduzioni), mega releas, boxset e rimasterizzazioni, anche i Warlord si fanno sentire, confido che il materiale nuovo sia anche e soprattutto tanta sostanza
di seguito l'annuncio ufficiale:
"A couple of months ago we promised you some big news for 12.12.12. Well 12.12.12 is finally here! Some of you wondered if we would be announcing the release of the new album. Some of you wondered if we would be announcing additional live dates. And others settled for additional 'sound bites' from the new album. You wondered, speculated, and asked us about a myriad of things. As you all know we have been hard at work recording Warlord's first studio album in 10 years. You also know that in "early" 2013 you will hear the new Warlord album when it is released. What you did NOT KNOW, however, is that you will not just be getting ONE new album in 2013, but instead THREE! Yes THREE! (1) The new Warlord album, 8 songs/55 minutes, (2) A double CD live album + BluRay disc (in high definition video AND audio) from the shows in Germany and Greece this April 2013 (to include a 'bonus' "Behind the Scenes" special), and (3) A re-release of "Rising out of the A
shes" with "full keyboard orchestration and choirs." This re-release will include the Japanese bonus track "Lost and Lonely Days" along with "one additional song" recorded by Bill, Mark, and Joacim, which was previously unreleased. To mark this 12.12.12. announcement we are making available the first item of merchandise from the coming Warlord "store" -- a replica of the "1984 CLASSIC WARLORD SHIRT." (A photo of the shirt will be uploaded in the coming days along with an announcement for orders). Finally, we would like to say that for "too long" Warlord fans have lived in a "dry and thirsty" land, where there was not enough Warlord music and not enough Warlord merchandise. This is all about to change. We have worked hard this past year and will continue to do so in the future to provide you, "the Warlord fan," with music, video, and merchandise to last for years to come."
