After months of frustration, uncertainty and countless e-mails sent to the factory, the long awaited vinyl EPs have finally arrived! You can't imagine how relieved that makes us, and how much we're looking forward to get the vinyls for those who've ordered them! They will be sent to the orderers on Tuesday, August 18.
Just to remind you folks about what kind of release we're talking about:
Retaliatory Strike -vinyl-EP contains 4 songs, which of three were recorded at FTMOTB studio sessions but didn't make it to the final release since we wanted to make the album the best possible ensemble. Afterwards we recorded one more song, that being a cover version of Betrayal's Retaliatory Strike. All songs were mixed by our trusted long-time studio wizard Arttu Sarvanne at Studio Watercastle and mastered at Chartmakers by none other than great Svante Forsbäck himself!
The vinyl is a very special ltd edition of only 250 copies. It's a semi-transparent brown vinyl in nice package (you can get the idea by checking our profile image). So, those of you who still haven't ordered this special release, click yourself to http://www.bullroser.com and make sure to get one of these! With the vinyl you'll also get instructions about how to get the tracks in digital format for the same price.
For those of you who don't understand the value of having your favorite music in physical format and being able to finger the cover and study the details of the artwork while listening to the vinyl: We feel sorry for you, but haven't forgotten you either. You can buy the EP as digital download for example from iTunes.
