CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC<\/strong> is proud to announce the European release of PAGAN ALTAR<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cThe Time Lord\u201d EP for the first time on cd format! <\/span><\/p>\n

PAGAN ALTAR<\/strong> is a legendary dark metal band hailing from UK, led by Terry (vocals) and Alan (guitar) Jones. Formed in the late 70s, PAGAN ALTAR<\/strong> wasn\u2019t able to gain the success they deserved during the NWOBHM explosion, being their proposal quite out of the Metal classic schemes of those days. As a consequence, the band was put on hiatus.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, their cult-status only grew stronger with time, and definitely exploded in 1998 with the official re-release of \u201cVolume I\u201d<\/strong>, the only album recorded by the band at that time, which never saw the light, except for a bootlegged tape. The release of “Volume I” brought\u00a0\u00a0interest upon the band, generating a renewed enthusiasm for the band’s leading members. The reformed Pagan Altar <\/strong>thus <\/strong>recorded and released two more full-length albums, \u201cLords of Hypocrisy\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cMythical and Magical\u201d<\/strong> in 2004 and 2006 respectively. They are also about to release a totally new album, aptly titled \u201cNever Quite Dead\u201d <\/strong>(a word pun which quite sums up their career) in the second half of 2012.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Time Lord\u201d<\/strong> collects material written and recorded in 1978 and 1979 in different studios, and later saved for posterity on cassette format only (thus the \u201coriginal\u201d sound quality of this release).<\/p>\n

So far this EP has only been released on vinyl format, originally by I HATE RECORDS in 2004, and later by BURIED BY TIME AND DUST in 2011. Both editions were quickly sold out. The cover used for this cd-release is the same as the BBTD release with a special artwork created by renewed artist\u00a0Andrei Bouzikov<\/strong> \u2013 who successfully represents\u00a0\u00a0the Melrose Abbey in Scotland, (reputed) burial place of 13th century wizard Michael Scot.<\/p>\n

\n

Cruz Del Sur Music<\/strong> will release \u201cTime Lord\u201d and the whole PAGAN ALTAR <\/strong>catalog in collaboration with US label Shadow Kingdom, which will be responsible for the American editions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
