Snuff? I assume you mean the tobacco thing and not the "killer" porn.


That's what it says on Pulverised's site, so if that CD can get into Malaysia I'm thinking he should be OK getting Nevermore.

I just picked up the reissues of the self-titled and the In Memory EP today. First off, the self-titled sounds AWESOME now! Holy shit, what a difference! It sounds so much better it sounds remixed, as well as remastered. As with the original the quality differs between songs because they were originally just demos—yep, demos!—from two recording sessions, so there's not a conistent sound between each song. But either way, it still sounds awesome!

The bonus tracks are great! Five tracks, all unreleased in this form. "Chances Three," a ballad, was re-recorded for Dead Heart In A Dead World and shows up here as a demo from 1992. There are three other demos from '92, and a studio track called "The System's Failing." One of the demos, "World Unborn," is so badass I'm amazed they never re-recorded it!!

In Memory sounds equally as good, but it's always sounded pretty good. The bonus material there is five demos that later appeared on Politics of Ecstasy. Very cool, but not really essential. The goddamn cover art is weak, though! It's the same as the digipak EP, but it's like Century Media lost the artwork, all save for a 150 x 150 picture which they blew up to 500 x 500! The damn resolution of the photo looks like an Atari game now! It's retarded!!

The price for the EP was $7.99, and $9.99 for the debut. Not bad. I may buy Politics just because it's only $9.99. But the bonus stuff there is weak so....
