Sindrome - Cathedral Of Ice

Sindrome: Αμερικάνικο συγκρότημα, το οποίο δραστηριοποιήθηκε στο δεύτερο μισό της δεκαετίας του ογδόντα. Δημιουργήθηκε το 1986 και κυκλοφόρησε μόλις δύο demos ("Into the Halls of Extermination" 1987, "Vault of Inner Conscience" 1991). Εν έτει 2016 βλέπουν το υλικό τους να κυκλοφορεί "επίσημα" καθώς Century Media επιμελήθηκε της συλλογής "Resurrection - The Complete Collection" που θα περιλαμβάνει τα ντέμο κι οτιδήποτε άλλο έχει ηχογραφήσει η μπάντα...

On the 4th of March, Century Media Records will release SINDROME's two only studio recordings - the highly influential "Into The Halls Of Extermination" (1987) and its congenial successor "Vault Of Inner Conscience" (1991). 

As both demos have been bootlegged numerous times, it's now time to offer all fans of timeless thrash/death metal these two legendary recordings as an official release, fully supported by the band and done in close cooperation with SINDROME's vocalist Troy Dixler.

"Resurrection - The Complete Collection" will be released as 2CD Digipak with slipcase and 36-page booklet as well as an LP with a 16-page LP size booklet and bonus CD. The entire audio material has been carefully re-mastered from original sources to guarantee an optimal listening experience. Metalion (Slayer Mag) has written an introduction to the release and Laurent Ramadier (Snakepit Mag) has conducted an extensive interview with Troy Dixler giving you a deep insight into the band's history. 

The cover artwork and additional design was done by Gustavo Sazes (Morbid Angel, Arch Enemy and many more). As a special bonus, SINDROME have unearthed the lost track, "Brought To The End", from the recording session of "Into The Halls Of Extermination" - an awesome track that now finally can be offered to the fans.

Besides the two demos and the bonus track, "Resurrection - The Complete Collection" also includes a full bootleg live show from Chicago, 1988, when SINDROME supported Death on their "Scream Bloody Gore" tour. 

The show is unedited and has a pretty raw sound, but it captures the intensity of SINDROME's live shows very well. It also includes the tracks "Surround The Prisoner" and "Psychic Warfare", two songs from the very early days that were never properly recorded in the studio.
