Lead singer Darren White is a nephew of the late Cilla Black. Picked up an absolutely stunning limited edition A5 booklet in Liverpool April 1998. Have a friend selling the original jewel case CD if you're interested. Second album is called Mystica but recall not being overly gone on it at the time.

Nice bit of trivia there Vinterland, a Metal quiz somewhere, sometime awaits!

I'm not bothered about it myself (but thanks), was it McLovin that was interested?

They had a pile of those A5 versions inside the door of the Virgin Megastore for ages back in the day. Bonus track on it, I think.

Grandmother is from Liverpool so am often over visiting relations and going to Goodison. Amazing what you learn along the way. Cilla Black was born Priscilla White so it's very much a case of join the dots.  :D

Bonus track is "I Will Bleed." Might throw it on for nostalgia's sake.Ticked a lot of boxes for the Paradise Lost and Anathema phase I was going through at the time.

It is handy enough to pick up on Discogs so I'll just order a copy there, but cheers Vineland.

Letter of the day is clearly "A"  :abbath:

Edge of Sanity,ive mentioned on here before they are a band i was very much aware of for years and years,but I criminally ignored them.For some reason I never managed to pick up any of their albums as a young fella,and any of the lads i grew up with didnt seem to have their stuff either.

Anyway ive been listening to them a lot in recent times,especially The Spectral Sorrows.

The Young Gods - Only Heaven
Blut aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta I: Fathers of the Icy Age
