Description
Hades were well known players in the U.S. Metal playground. They became recognised since their first album “Resisting Success” back in 1987 where their mix of Power Metal and Thrash was the ultimate hip Metal cocktail. But with “If at first you dont succeed…” one year later, Hades establish themselves as one of the leading bands of the so-called at the time “Tecno-Thrash”, where Alan Tecchio was singing before he joined Watchtower, replacing original singer Jason McMaster.
The Hades saga continued until the end of the 90s where the band recorded several album for the legendary Metal Blade label. But the Hades history dates back to 1978 and before the first album there were several demos and two 7” singles. The Fox Studios housed the band several times and from those sessions, in 1998, band leader (guitarist) Dan Lorenzo, self released “The Lost Fox Studio Sessions” CD which is now a rare collectors item.
Faster and Louder & Hellven Records teamed up to bring you an updated version of this rarity with improved layout and design, plus one extra track: the most rare Hades track, the original 1983 version of “The Cross”, with singer John Collura that never recorded anything else. All the recordings on this collection were done between 1983 and 1989. This new reissue has an 8-page booklet and a slipcase. It is limited to 500 copies.
