SHADOW KINGDOM RECORDS is planning to reissue Germany's THE HAND OF DOOM's 'Poisonoise' album, both in CD and 2xLP format, and with bonus tracks.

A posting on the official record label's website about the reissue reads: "'Who in the Hell is THE HAND OF DOOM?' you ask? They’re an incredible heavy band from Germany that originally had a limited press album in 1979. A Heavy Rock N’ Roll band -- no Doom at all in their music -- that are very similar to the early bands of the NWOBHM movement who took early Punk Rock and fused it with Heavy Rock. This band will appeal to fans of 70’s-era MOTORHEAD, DISCHARGE, BRATS (pre-MERCYFUL FATE band), MC5, THE STOOGES, THE CLASH, SEX PISTOLS, SARCOFAGUS, ACCEPT, 70’s-era JUDAS PRIEST and DIAMOND HEAD. This is a very unique sounding band. This release will come with 11 bonus tracks on the 180 gram double vinyl (some unreleased) in January and 10 bonus tracks (some unreleased) on the CD version, as per request of the band, this December."

Check out two of their songs on Youtube.com:

Ok, just send me a copy of this LP and my mom is yours, and if you send some extra stuff, like Graf Spee or Black Hole I have two sisters to offer (no grandmas, sorry, they were both cremated)
