NOCTURNAL RITES To Celebrate 10th Anniversary With Early Albums Reissue

November 22, 2004

Century Media will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Swedish power metallers NOCTURNAL RITES with the release of a double-CD set containing their first two albums, due on February 21, 2005. The debut album, "In A Time of Blood And Fire", was released in 1995 on Megarock Records but was only available in small quantities. Two years later the boys from Sweden's northern rock city Umea released their second opus, "Tales of Mystery and Imagination", in Japan (re-released in the rest of the world with different cover artwork on Century Media a year later). Both albums have been out of print for a long time and will be gathered on the new 2CD, "Lost In Time: The Early Years of Nocturnal Rites", along with some rare bonus tracks and special re-recordings with their current vocalist Jonny Lindqvist, who replaced old singer Anders Zackrisson on their fourth album, "Afterlife", in 2000. The booklet features liner notes from bass player Nils Eriksson, along with the original cover artworks and lyrics.

In other news, NOCTURNAL RITES have just finished filming their second video ("Against the World") from their highly acclaimed sixth album, "New World Messiah".
