Another batch of classic rock and heavy metal albums is being re-released in Brazil, as part of a partnership between Wikimetal and OPorto da Música.
After re-releasing the classic albums Taking Over by Overkill and the self-titled debut album by Metal Church , this time other titles from these bands' catalogs have been chosen: The Dark by Metal Church, and Under the Influence Out of the Cellar Ratt 's first studio album is also being re-released .
The Dark is Metal Church's second album, which propelled the band to a new level: in 1986, the release of the band's first music video, "Watch the Children Pray," had a huge impact and made the album a major commercial success. During the promotional period for this album, Metal Church toured with high-profile bands such as Metallica . The success and fame brought many problems among the members, which would later result in changes to the band's lineup.
Under The Influence is Overkill's third studio album, and the first with new drummer Sid Falck . Released in 1988, the album sold over 300,000 copies and includes the classics "Never Say Never" and "Hello from the Gutter".
Originally released in 1984, Out of the Cellar was Ratt's first studio album. The band started in California in the 1970s, with the lineup of Stephen Pearcy on vocals, Robbin Crosby and Warren De Martini on guitars, Juan Croucier on bass, and Bobby Blotzer on drums.
The three albums are being released in a special edition, with a slipcase, and are already available for sale in major stores and online via Wikimetal Store .
