[This thread is moved from Victim Of Time/Mod.]

I'm very proud and thrilled to announce that Stormspell Records will be releasing the long lost XINR album from 1984!

15 songs, with MASSIVE booklet with band introduction, lyrics, tons of pictures!

We are shooting out for November 30th release date.

The CD is being remastered as we speak, and Alan Lathwell will be drawing the artwork very shortly.

More info to follow when available.

A dream come true. Great work, Iordan!

I've gotta ask: is that gravestone, with the XINR logo and all the real deal or some composit photoshop thing?

DaN, it is a real picture taken by Tony's brother.

Shaun and Tony's families burried them together and the grave marker with the engraved logo is very real, located in the Portland's cemetery.

The whole album is very NWOBHM insipred crunchy proto-metal in the vein of early Judas Priest, Hell, Pagan Altar even. The 70s influences are very apparent, with totaly wild and expressive vocals.

Production is very raw, which in a sense enhances the mood and feeling of the album. The key point is, XINR (pronounced "ex-sinner") wasnt a Christian band. From what I understood, their philosophy was that everyone is entitled to a free choice between good and evil. Almost all lyrics exploit this aspect and in general are very dark, even disturbing at places.

It is very complex and rich album, with all sorts of influences incorporated. I've listened to it 10+ times already and still keep discovering new and new things with every listen.

My best friend and I almost died listening to the XINR song All Hallows Eve last night. Crazy...

I will be one of the first to buy the cd. Since I recieved one of Chris's homemade cd's I sing along to every single song on the album (and some live/misc unreleased stuff). PHENOMENAL band in every aspect. The gravestone you posted is truly awe-inspiring, thank you for that and for putting Shaun and Tony's life work out there for all to hear! Thats why I dug so far into XINR in the first place.

Cheers.
