January 2012 The CD will be going to the pressing plant next week! The Merchandise/Webshop page is now open and the new album will be added as soon as we get it. The CD will also be available from all the usual distros that have stocked Retaliator music in the past.
Distro's please contact Rebellion Records for copies. We do not provide wholesale to distributors ourselves Rebellion Records are the exclusive distributor for the Lionhearted CD.
Here is one track from the new album. Pre-mixed and pre-mastered, but it gives you an idea what to expect:
December 2011 The new album is almost ready for the pressing plant. CD will be released first, with a limited edition coloured vinyl LP to follow in a few months time. A new webshop will be up and running here as soon as we get our hands on it and it will be available at the usual outlets. CD version is on a brand new label called In Exile Music. There is now an extra track on the album and the tracklisting is different to the information that Step 1 had previously advertised. The correct and final tracklisting is:
1. FEAR NOT, MY AXE IS SHARP
2. ARE YOU LIONHEARTED?
3. KNOWN TO THE DEVIL
4. SPITTING BULLETS
5. THE UNFORGIVEN IV
6. SUICIDE SQUAD
7. WHEN THE DAMNED WON'T WAIT
8. CRUCIFIED
9. SKINNY TIN RIBS
10. THIS SOUL OF MINE
11. DUCKING REFICULOUS
12. BIG BROTHER (CRIMINAL TENDENCIES)
13. THE KID THAT DIED
September 2011 We've noticed various distros on the internet have our new album advertised as having a release date of tomorrow, the 19th of September. It won't be ready for a while yet, probably two months, but possibly three. Band members have been busy with other stuff/bands/moving homes and seeing as we're spread right across England it's been a logistical nightmare finding free dates when we can all get together. We think it will be worth the wait though and all agree it's the best thing we've ever recorded.
We can also tell you 100% that it will NOT be on the record label that previously advertised it, so please contact them directly if you pre-ordered it. Another label is releasing it and there may be an extra track on the album if we have time to record it.
July 2011 Yes I know it's been 5 months since the last update. My computer crashed, I lost the software. Or maybe I was just too lazy. Bloik! So what's new? The new studio album will be called LIONHEARTED. There's been a few rumours about gigs but the truth is we have nothing confirmed. We'll get this album finished then have a think about the live situation.
