08-16-08 EMBALMED EXISTENCE Re-Release details and Date!!!!

You have been waiting, and waiting a very long time to own a copy of EMBALMED EXISTENCE!!!

RESURRECTION's 1993 critically acclaimed Cult must-have masterpiece debut album "Embalmed Existence" will be re-issued December 19th of this year via Massacre records. The disc will include a re-mastered original recording, demo recordings prior to Embalmed, Live tracks, and 2 full-length (7 minute entire story!)) storyteller story out-takes.  A separate DVD disc will include vintage live footage, interviews, 1993/1994 tour shows, etc. etc. etc. and will be a limited edition two-disc digipack format only. The packaging will be an extra special booklet that will include all of the lyrics, photos, information about the disc, liner notes prepared by ourselves and a special surprise that we won't mention just yet!  This release will most likely be a limited run and it might be a European release only. More on that as we learn more.



8-16-08 BURIED ALIVE Video is finished and online!!
We have just posted the first video from our long-awaited new album "Mistaken For Dead" on our myspace page, youtube page, and this website for the song "Buried Alive". The video was shot in Tampa at the historic Springs Theatre in March and was directed by  Billy Resin.  The video marks the first video that we have made and will be aired on Headbangers Ball in Norway in September. Yeah!! The video can be seen on our home page here or by following any of the links below:

 

08-14-08 European Tour cancelled
Once again, we are facing problems with getting over to Europe to promote the album and tour.  Much like MANY times in the past, the promoter (who we will not name yet)  has pulled us off of the tour package after we were confirmed for almost 2 months and had all of the financial details arranged.  The tour we were confirmed on was the Vital Remains/ Wykked Wytch package that was scheduled for the entire month of October. We were direct support for Vital. This seems to be a recurring problem that keeps coming up. We are working on getting on another tour-hopefully in the fall, but may be in the spring  before we can get it set-up. Once agin, we have to appologize for this, and again it is out of our control as we are at the mercy of promoters who DO NOT CARE about the music and only care about making as much money for themselves as possible and like to fuck the supporters of metal. We WILL get to Europe to support Mistaken For Dead!!!


07-01-08 European Album Release!!
Attention EUROPE:
The long awaited new Resurrection album "MISTAKEN FOR DEAD" is now out and available throughout Europe. Go out to your favorite record store or buy your copy online today. The album is available as a CD or as a DIGIPAK that is loaded with a DVD of bonus material.

Buy It Here: Mistaken For Dead 

 




05-06-08 General update
The new album Mistaken For Dead release date is now June 27, 2008 in Europe via Massacre Records and unknown at this time in North America via Locomotive Records.  So far initial feedback by European press is real positive.  Dan Seagrave did the cover art which is very unique and strange for a death metal band, but it's strength is in it's weirdness and it is an actual canvas painting that is an original custom made for us.  check it out here:  Mistaken For Dead or  for a larger version: http://massacre-records.de/promo/Default.aspx?ID=&Band=Resurrection

We unfortunately have had to cancel our appearance at this year's DOA festival in Germany and hope that we can be a part of it another time. We are still planning on a 3 week European tour in the fall and possibly another 3 weeks in the spring to promote the record. We will keep you updated on that.....
The Embalmed Existence re-issue will be happening this year!!! Tentative plans include a re-mastered version of the album, storyteller outtakes, live and demo recordings, and a seperate DVD disc with vintage live footage, interviews, 93/94 tour vids, etc.- The album will be a limited edition 2 disc digipak only.  So for the hundreds of requests that we have gotten about the Embalmed album, there you have it!!
We will have some of the new tunes from the album up shortly and in the mean time for more info and updates check out:  http://massacre-records.de 

02-07-08 Album Title and Track-list revealed!!

11-19-07 Press Release

It is with great pleasure that we announce the addition of new permanent drummer GUS RIOS to the line-up of Resurrection. After auditioning numerous players over the last couple of months, we are pleased to have the opportunity to play with Gus as a permanent full-time member of the band. Gus’s Drumming and writing credits include; Malevolent Creation, Upon Infliction, and  Kult Ov Azazel as well as Co-writing and producing Malevolent Creations’ newest release- Doomsday X. Gus is a natural fit for Resurrection in terms of playing style and is dedicated to creating our next full-length and supporting the album on tour. This relationship we all hope will be a long-term situation.
Resurrection will begin pre-production in January and will enter the studio in February to record their as-of-yet untitled full-length album scheduled for an end of April 2008 world-wide release via Massacre Records in Europe and a through a not yet named label for the rest of the world.
2008 plans also include a European and North American tour and numerous festival appearances world-wide. 

Other news includes:

We are happy to announce that Resurrection has finalized a new relationship with Germany’s MASSACRE records. The contract with MASSACRE is for the European territories only and we are close to finalizing a deal for the remainder of the world via another US based label.  Current plans include recording the new as-of-yet untitled full-length in February which is due in stores world-wide at the end of April.  We will announce our other relationship (for the rest of the world) in a few weeks, as we draw closer to finalizing the agreement.



11-14-07 Update
Well, we are finishing up negotiations with a few record labels and it looks like we will be in the studio in Febuary for a worldwide end of April/early May release of a new RESURRECTION album that is currently untitled. Sorry that it's been so long for an update, as we have been busy with all of this stuff and writing our asses off.  We will put out a press release announcing our new label as well as drummer soon. My brother Kevin is super busy with his band ADRIFT and has stepped down as drummer for Resurrection. No big deal, we all remain tight and respect each others ambitions. I wish him only the best.
