BATTALION & Neal Morse reviews at Angelic Warlord

Hello,

I recently updated Angelic Warlord to include reviews of albums from Neal Morse ("Momentum") and Battalion ("Runaway" re-issue on Arkeyn Steel Records). Following are the links:

Neal Morse - http://www.angelicwarlord.com/reviews/m/morse12.html

Battalion - http://www.angelicwarlord.com/reviews/b/battalion12.html

You will also find several extensive news updates the past several weeks as well.

Look for reviews of albums from Dragon's Cry ("Prophecies"), Bill Menchen ("Power & Glory") and Atkins / May Project ("Valley Of Shadows") in the coming weeks.

I also have the pre-release promo files downloaded for the new Golden Resurrection, "One Voice For The Kingdom". Yes, it is one of the "perks" of the job of running a record review website, along with a lot of REAL late hours, not enough sleep and no social life to speak of!

Nice review, I was hoping to get that Battalion reissue but haven't seen in for sale in the U.S. yet.

I have an original. Unless I hear some clips that just blow me away, then I will stay with what I have.

Battalion - "Runaway" is available through the website of the Greek Label Arkeyn Steel Records. The song "Don't Wait" is available for download at the Music page.

I would love to have that Battalion album, but it costs $27!

That's why I was looking for U:S: distribution. I never understood why a U.S. band couldn't get their album released state-side? Why are some them only European imports?

I believe it has to do with the bands label, Arkeyn Steel Records, which is from Greece. I ordered my copy directly from the label (via eBay) and do not recall it costing $27.

But I agree that it is too bad a domestic label such as Retroactive or Roxx Records has not picked Battalion up for distribution. This is why I am going to miss Youngside Records so much: They carried a lot of obscure releases by groups from Europe and South America that were otherwise difficult to find.

WOOHOO!!! I emailed the label that reissued Battalion and asked whether a digital download was going to happen sometime. The label said they're working on a digital store, but it's not ready as yet. However, he said if I sent him $10 via PayPal, he'd hook me up with the album and artwork in a digital download. I sent the cash, and am now downloading this! Awesome!

I asked if it was okay if I spread the news about this, and he said it's fine. You can email him at info@arkeynsteel.com and he'll hook you up. (FYI...you do not send the cash to that email in PayPal.)
