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.

Wow, I look forward to this.

How where those two members killed?

Motorcycle accident. They were riding Shaun's bike and colided with a car...

Cool, i'm pretty sure the material will be better than the pacific metal track

Fantstic news!!!!!ITs one of my favourite band from the compilation,i like thm so much!!!!i had tried to track the band down in the past with no sucess,im glad you found them and release them,the tracks must be great .Are those songs in the same type of the song in the compilation?
thank you so much Stormspell for this offer,i was really expecting for someone to track them down and release them

Shit on my pants!!! Well done,Stormspell!!!

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.

Awesome news! I'll take 200 copies...

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.

I will definitely buy this. Thank you!

Brilliant. I'll definitely buy this.

What's the album title? Or will it be self-titled?
