Heaven
and Hell Records Has Us Feeling the Thunder Again
Just
in time for the Holidays, Heaven
and Hell Records (US) digs
into their velvet red sack of forgotten music classics and pulls out
a gem from the 80s. An all-new reissue of the EP, "Thunder
Advocate," from the
Philadelphia-area based Heavy Metal band Seeker,
is now available. The reissue was given the label's customary,
full blown, deluxe treatment. 30 years since the EP's original
release, "Thunder
Advocate," is now
available on CD and Heaven and
Hell Records has spared no
expense as it contains all newly re-mastered tracks, new cover
artwork by artist Diego Gedoz
De Souza and a 16-page booklet
which includes rare photos, song lyrics and the story of the band.
"This
is something that none of us ever thought would happen,"
said Seeker
guitarist Mick Michaels.
"Really...who would've
thought that 30 years later the music would have a second life...
it's amazing and proves that music never dies,"
he added.
Seeker
formed in 1986 during the
height of what is now called the Hair
Metal era. As the music
landscape started to change, the band finally ended their original
run in the early 90s.
For
the EP's reissue, only a limited number of CDs have been produced for
this initial release.
Track listing:
1. Thunder Advocate
2. The Prophet
3. Midnight Tide
4. Metal Rage
5. Feel the Thunder
Is
there talk of a reunion to commemorate the reissue?
"There
has been a passing word or two among some of the original band
members," said Michaels.
"But nothing concrete or
decided upon," he added.
"Everyone is involved in
other projects at the moment. So who knows...anything is possible. We
are all just grateful that this is happening…the EP finally
received the release it should have gotten 30 years ago,"
Michaels added.
Seeker's
"Thunder
Advocate" is now
available and can be ordered directly through Heaven
and Hell Records' official
website at:

For
those looking to hear a sample, the label has also provided a digital
