From: The Peaceville Newsletter Reply-To: List Admin Subject: The Peaceville Newsletter, issue 5 ==================================================================== The Peaceville Newsletter issue #05, as for Thu Apr 17 1997 ==================================================================== From : PEACEVILLE HQ, PO BOX 101, CLECKHEATON, BD19 4YF, UK FAX : 01274-874313 Thank you subscribers, you have been patient ! For your reward I will now reveal the identity of our new signings. You are the first to be told !! 1. ACRIMONY - "Tumuli Shroomaroom" (CDVILE 68) Released 26th MAY. Welsh Stoner Rockers, formerly with Godhead / Rise Above Records. This album of monsterously heavy doom riffing has been sat on the shelf for a few months awaiting a proper label. We're pleased to announce that they've found one - us ! If you liked old Sabbath and Saint Vitus then you'll love this. A great summer release - yayheyheyheyah ! 2. LID - "In The Mushroom" (CDVILE 67) Released 16th JUNE. A marriage made in heaven ? You may have noticed on our news pages that Danny from Anathema had gone to Chicago for Xmas to stay with friends. What I didn't say was that the friends included ex-Trouble star ERIC WAGNER and their new band "LID" (US slang for an amount of cannabis). While TROUBLE and ANATHEMA toured Europe together the two hit upon a great kinship and as soon as Trouble called it a day Eric asked Danny to play guitar in his band. Not wanting to leave ANATHEMA (of course) he agreed to do it when his schedule allows and the Xmas holiday was just the break they needed. The album was recorded in Pittsburgh and mixed in San Francisco by the inimitable Vincent Wojna (Machinehead etc.). The pair worked so well that Danny co-composed the majority of the album with Eric. Another summer classic waiting to happen. The summer's mushrooming, the summer's Peaceville ! 3. BLACKSTAR - "t.b.a." (t.b.a.) Released JULY Yes, most of you knew this - Carcass, without Bill Steer, WITH a new sense of purpose and a SAXOPHONE!. BLACKSTAR have spent the last month with COLIN RICHARDSON at one of Englands TOP studio's laying down their first album for Peaceville. Now they begin mixing and as history suggests - this will be a mother of a record. OTHER HAPPENINGS ================ August/September should see new albums from DOMINION and THE BLOOD DIVINE as both enter the studio in May/June. ANATHEMA have written their new album, so all being well, they will enter the studio as soon as they have finished touring - expect that in November. MY DYING BRIDE will not have an album out until the beginning of '98 due to the heavy touring schedule they're in the middle of. Things have gone so well in the states that there's a strong possibility of them staying there a while longer than planned. ALL the above acts are contributing 2 cover versions for the Peaceville tenth anniversary compilation "X" which should be out by October. BTW, the MY DYING BRIDE and ANATHEMA videos will now be released on APRIL 28th. Thanks for waiting.......
