SCRATCH from Sweden, made quite an impact back in 1985 with their only official release, the legendary “Metalbreaker / Before the Rain” 7” single. With the passing of the years, the single became extremely rare and often misled for a NWOBHM release, making it almost impossible to find. After years of searching for the original members, CMC managed to locate the singer of the band Nic O’Noon who helped them put together a great compilation featuring the 2 classic songs of the single, plus 3 more songs, previously unreleased.
The CD and vinyl will feature remastered sound and all the songs were transferred at the highest quality from the original master tapes. The booklet will feature story of the band, lyrics to all songs, great 80’s photos and you should expect nothing less than the known high quality of Cult Metal Classics.
Both formats will be available by Autumn 2017, so stay tuned for one of the most anticipated reissues of 2017. Swedish metal rules! HAIL!
