ROADRUNNER ANNOUNCES RE-RELEASE OF CLASSIC TYPE O NEGATIVE'S SLOW, DEEP AND HARD and GLASSJAW'S EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SILENCE
New York, NY: Roadrunner Records is proud to announce the rereleasing of
two crucial albums from the label’s deep, highly respected catalog. Type
O Negative’s essential Slow, Deep and Hard and Glassjaw’s genre-defining
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence will be re-entering the
marketplace on March 24 with an assortment of added audio and visual
bonuses.
Type O’s head-turning, raw debut, Slow, Deep and Hard, was originally
released in 1991 and is credited with launching the black-humored, doomy
metal band’s career. Type O eventually went on to become the first
Gold-certified band on Roadrunner. The reissue is re-mastered, which
adds an element of crispness to this classic release’s sound. It also
includes a bonus track called “Hey Pete.” It will also feature new liner
notes, redesigned artwork and extra photos. It’s a “must have” for fans
of Brooklyn’s finest.
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence by Long Island’s
Glassjaw was the sounding bell for emotionally aggressive post-hardcore.
The album, which unexpectedly impacted the scene like an atom bomb in
2000, was a heart-on-the-sleeve slab of hulking, noisy and earnest rock.
It quickly established Glassjaw as one of the architects of today’s
screamo scene, something for which they take no credit. The reissue
features new liner notes as well as the “lost” track, “Convectuoso,” in
addition to a cover of Youth of Today’s hardcore classic, “Modern Love
Story.”
Each reissue will hit retail shelves on March 24, 2009.
