While some power metal bands aim for heaviness at all cost, other are more like storytellers – capturing epic tales and sealing them in beautiful, yet powerful musical forms. White Skull fits right into the second category, standing next to such icons as Hammerfall, Running Wild and Nocturnal Rites. The two exclusive re-editions of “Tales From The North” and “Public Glory, Secret Agony” bring some of the most exciting releases in the history of epic power metal that will enchant your imagination forever.
“Tales From The North” (1999)
This epic concept album based on Nordic mythology has quickly become a milestone in the group’s career. Released by the acclaimed label Nuclear Blast Records, “Tales From The North” showcased true power metal perfection – songs like “Gods of the Sea”, “The Killing Queen” and the title track easily took the listener back to the times of raging Vikings. Thrilling guitars, fast drums and hymn-like choruses made up for a truly memorable musical experience, powered with one of the most extraordinary female voices in the history of metal. The album also featured a guest appearance by Chris Boltendahl from Grave Digger.
“Public Glory, Secret Agony” (2000)
This time the album’s concept involved the history of the Roman Empire, especially the period centered around Julius Caesar and his relations with the Egyptian queen - Cleopatra. The LP managed to perfectly capture the spirit of the epoch, introducing monumental tracks such as “High Treason” and “The Roman Empire” and coupling them with the atmospheric, “evil-sounding” tunes like “Anubis The Jackal” and “The Mangler”. Once again White Skull delivered brilliant musicianship backed with De Boni’s passionate voice, creating an ultimate power metal masterpiece.
White Skull’s re-issues will be available in a new digipak edition limited to 2000 copies. Metal Mind Productions set the release date for 25th August 2008 in Europe and 28th October 2008 in USA (via MVD).

The releasedate for the 3rd quarter is now set. We will release 2 albums, which we already announced some time ago.
We start with CROM, the name of the album is "Vengeance". Musically you can expect Epic/Viking Metal in vein of BATHORY'S "Hammerheart", "Twilight of the gods" and "Blood on Ice". It has been created by Walter "Crom" Grosse, which is known as ex-guitarist of one of Germanys most known Black Metal Bands, DARK FORTRESS.
Album Nr. 2 was created by the Iranians ANGBAND. It has been "baptized" to the name "Rising from Apadana". The early albums of ICED EARTH and DEPRESSIVE AGE you can take as the musical direction. Although the unusual homecountry (for a metalband), guitarist/bassist Mahyar Dean is not unknown in the scene. Some people might know him as the author of the official bandbiographies of DEATH and TESTAMENT. I think it is unnecessary to mention that the situation for the band is not the easiest in Iran, because any kind of Heavy Metal is forbidden there. So it's a special pleasure and honor for us to provide a platform to the guys, which probably no Iranian metalband got up to this day.
Both albums will be available on 29th August.

Arkeyn Steel Records
Proudly presents another release of fine Power / Prog Metal:
DEAD CALM - "No Way Out"
(Limited Edition 1000 Hand numbered CDs)
Dead Calm from Ottawa, Canada released back in 1991 a limited -in 1000 copies only- LP tape called "No Way Out" including 9 tracks of magnificent Power / Prog Metal in the vein of old Queensryche / Lethal / Hittman. The musical trademarks of Dead Calm are with no doubt the unbelievable vocals (ala Tate / Malicoat), the powerful riffing and the brilliant guitar leads that are enforcing their music with a special touch of strange and beautiful steel.
