ATLANTEAN KODEX “The Golden Bough” LP: DELIVERY DELAYED!

EnricoLeave a comment

AN IMPORTANT NOTICE for all the customers who pre-ordered the ATLANTEAN KODEX‘s DOUBLE GATEFOLD LP

We regret to inform that the delivery of the ATLANTEAN KODEX’s DOUBLE GATEFOLD LP is delayed.

Initially scheduled for a 7th of October street date, we just got today unexpected news from the pressing plant, informing us that the delivery has been postponed to the first week of November.
The pressing plant claims that they were waiting for a confirmation on our side (requested on the 27th of Sept) regarding the approval of the graphic files.
The problem is that we never received such a notice.

Since in the meantime a “big production” has come in, our release was postponed.
We would even have accepted a 7-day delay or similar as part of our “responsibility” (the lack of communication?), but we really feel that one month delay is too much.

We really expected to start shipments around the 10th of October, and it is with great disappointment and scorn that we are giving this communication to all the customers and the fans out there.

All the files and audio masters were delivered to the pressing plant on the first week of September (together with the advanced payment!), and the test pressing was approved on the 24th of September.

Besides, our communications with the pressing plant have always been extremely fast in order to have the release out at the expected time.
Moreover, prior to this unfortunate event, we already shipped part (cds/shirts) of those orders which also included the vinyl, without charging any extra; we did that with the pure intention of providing a good service to the people who trusted Cruz Del Sur Music placing their pre-orders.

Therefore, rest assured that as soon as the records reach our offices, they will go directly from the shipping boxes into your mail boxes.

We feel very sorry for all the customers who have been and still are so trustful and kind ordering their copy on pre-order.

We don’t have enough words to apologize, it’s a big disillusion for us in the first place, and something which is not bound to happen again.

Truthfully,

Cruz Del Sur Music Staff.

ATLANTEAN KODEX “The Golden Bough”: best Epic Metal album of the year?

EnricoLeave a comment

This is the questions that many of you, and even us at Cruz del Sur Music, are keeping on asking. From the land of Bavaria, best known to the world for its tasty beers and commercial Oktoberfests, ATLANTEAN KODEX hails and kill, keeping it in an epic, Manowar-esque fashion.

Some of the early press responses have been just overwhelming :

“There is no metal truer than this. The Golden Bough thunders and shimmers like a storm of everything True Metal is supposed to be. The riffs are worthy of Quorthon at his best, the melodies are beyond haunting, and the production is heavy as a fucking iron warhammer.(…) Not only the best metal music of the year, but one of the most significant and deep albums ever made”

“Get ready for one of the most chilling, hair raising and just plain brilliant metal releases of the year!!!! I’m honestly not over exaggerating either, if you have not gotten your full dose of melodic, epic, and ultimately heavy quite yet then prepare to be flattened to being almost transparent by the Atlantean Kodex!!!!(…) This thing actually gives me goosebumps, I mean honest tingling and a “deer in the headlights” expression on my face as my epidermis puckers in places. The whole album is so astounding and completely intense, this will humble many for sure.”

We decided to ask a few questions to guitarist Manuel Trummer, trying to understand which is the secret behind the bands’ formula of success: Read more “ATLANTEAN KODEX “The Golden Bough”: best Epic Metal album of the year?”
