CREMATORY Announce Vinyl Reissues Of Ground-Breaking, First Records

CREMATORY announce vinyl reissues of ground-breaking, first records “Transmigration” and “…Just Dreaming” as well as their only demo “Engulfed in Darkness”, for a release on July 4th via ROAR!

Earlier this month, CREMATORY have released their 17th studio album “Destination”, that is out on ROAR at THIS LOCATION. 

With “Destination”, CREMATORY return to the Champions League, even placing their new masterpiece in the Top 10 of the German album charts straight away!

Now, as a gift for the great support of their fans, the iconic dark metal pioneers have announced to reissue the first demo and their first two albums from their distinctive back catalogue: “Engulfed in Darkness” (Demo, 1992), “Transmigration” (1993) and “…Just Dreaming” (1994) on limited colored vinyl, slated for a re-release on July 4th via ROAR!

CREMATORY were founded in January 1991 and have grown to become Germany’s leading gothic metal band, with 17 studio albums to their name. Their versatile sound ranges from melodic death metal to electro/dark wave-inspired parts, some of which are performed in German. In over three decades, CREMATORY have released numerous classics, including unmistakable hits such as “Tears Of Time”, “Shadows Of Mine”, “Fly”, “The Fallen”, “Greed”, “Shadowmaker”, or from their current chartbreaker “Destination”, the grandiose “Welt aus Glas”. Alongside 90s cult acts such as TYPE O NEGATIVE, TIAMAT, MOONSPELL, THE GATHERING and PARADISE LOST, CREMATORY are one of the most successful representatives of their genre.

“Engulfed In Darkness” is their very first demo tape, released in February 1992, now available for the first time as a Mini-LP, limited to 500 copies in colored vinyl! The line-up at the time, featuring singer Felix Stass and drummer Markus Jüllich, included guitarist Lotte Först and bassist Marc Zimmer. A legendary demo and death metal assault, remastered by current CREMATORY guitarist and producer Rolf Munkes at Empire Studios Bensheim!

The CREMATORY debut album “Transmigration” was released in April 1993, including hits such as “Eyes Of Suffering”, “Hall Of Torment” and “Deformity”. A melodic death metal album with dominant keyboard parts and a certain horror feeling. A terrific debut and genre classic! Remastered by Rolf Munkes, the reissue of “Transmigration” will be available as limited, colored vinyl limited to 500 copies.

After the grandiose debut “Transmigration”, CREMATORY‘s second album “…Just Dreaming” was released just one year later in May 1994, propelling the band straight to the top of their genre in Germany. With melodic death metal anthems such as “Shadows Of Mine”, “Only Once In A Lifetime” and “In My Hands”, CREMATORY hit the ravages of time and enjoyed increasing popularity. Together with ATROCITY and TIAMAT, they toured Europe for the first time. “…Just Dreaming” will be now coming out as limited edition colored vinyl, also remastered by Rolf Munkes!
