Arkeyn Steel Records

Proudly presents another release of fine Power / Prog Metal:
DEAD CALM
“No Way Out”
(Limited Edition 1000 Hand numbered CDs)

Dead Calm from Ottawa, Canada released back in 1991 a limited -in 1000 copies only- LP tape called “No Way Out” including 9 tracks of magnificent Power / Prog Metal in the vein of old Queensryche / Lethal / Hittman. The musical trademarks of Dead Calm are with no doubt the unbelievable vocals (ala Tate / Malicoat), the powerful riffing and the brilliant guitar leads that are enforcing their music with a special touch of strange and beautiful steel.

The original multi-track master tapes have been lost forever as they were destroyed by a fire on the band’s studio. Fortunately the one and ONLY stereo master tape that was used by the band back in 1991 to duplicate the album was saved and was digitally transferred into CD on one of Canada’s finest studios. The digital product was re-mastered from the scratch by Arkeyn Steel Records mastering main man Mr. Kostas Scandalis at Infinity Studios.

43 minutes of complex, catchy and melodic steel touch by the magic Canadian Metal spirit. Presented under completely new artwork –by Kostas Athanasoglou-, full lyrics and inner notes. Finally this album is released the way it deserved. Here we got an unbelievable musical experience for sure not to be missed.

Tracklist:
1. Thief In The Night 5:50
2. Journey’s End 6:43
3. Chemical Warfare 3:29
4. Love Or War 4:19
5. Mary’s Black Sun 5:09
6. First Step 4:09
7. Holding On 4:56
8. Mother Earth 3:23
9. No Way Out 2:57

Here is the latest Arkeyn Steel newsletter where you will find some cool
updates. First of all we must point that the “secret” release of
Arkeyn Steel Records which was a big question for all of you,
unfortunatelly has to be cancelled. We had almost completed the deal
with the band, but on the last second there was a disagreement between
the band members. To cut a long story sort, there was actually one
member that -for his own reaosns- have not given the final permission
for the release to happend, it has to be cancelled. We will not going
to announce the band’s name because we do not want to spread any bad
attitude. They would probably have a better luck with a future deal
and of course we wish it to them.

Leaving that behind we would like to announce our next release for June 2008. James Shellberg (Enchanter, Longings ast) had the original plan to
re-release both Longings Past titles by himself. Well he was pretty
amazed and satisfied by the final result of the Enchanter - Defenders
Of The Realm CD that he kindly offered us the chance to re release the
two legendary Longings Past albums on CD. The debut Longings Past
album, Meadows Of Maseilya will be the first title to come out. This
epic and mysterious musical anthem was originally released on tape
back in 1992 and it will be for first time available on CD re mixed
and re mastered by James Shellberg himself on USA. The second Longings
Past album, An Angel’s Tale (originally released on 1994 on tape and
CD) will follow.

This US band, released back in 1991 one GREAT 3-song demo of US Melodic Power / Progressive Metal. A second demo was recorded back in 1994 but it remained unreleased. Arkeyn Steel presents for the very first time on CD those two Metal jewels, mastered from the scracth and presented in new artwork plus an informative booklet including complete biography and unreleased photos. For all the fans of Fifth Angel, Riot, Crimson Glory, Hitman, Sanctuary and old fates Warning. STAY TUNED!!!! 

Bobby Hicks joined this Baltimore, Maryland, US based band on 1994, one year after his leaving from the Gods Mystic Force. In 1995 they originally released the tape “Yes Or No” in 1000 copies with CD edition to follow in another 1000 copies some months later. Both editions sold out very quickly and this treasure remained buried into dust until today. Moreover the band split in 1999 and their signs were completely lost until Arkeyn Steel brings them back in the light of the day. Do not miss the chance to grab this anthem that will be re pressed for last time on 1000 hand numbered CDs. As bonus on the 6 tracks included in the original there are 2 pre-production rehearsal tracks from 1998, so we got 8 tracks in total and more than 45 minutes of melodic, Power / Prog Steel in the vein of Mystic Force / Queensryche / Lethal / Sacred Warrior. It comes digitally mastered from the original master tapes, in completely new artwork by Kostas Athanasoglou plus booklet with lyrics, unreleased photo and info as well. This is THE must for all the fans of the bands mentioned and everyone into high quality, shinning US Steel. OUT ON April 29th.
