{"product_id":"morbid-jester_until-the-battle-is-won_2022_zyx","title":"Until The Battle Is Won","description":"Even in 1994, good and exciting traditional metal albums were being recorded while grunge and crossover raged on. Morbid Jester from Herborn started in 1988 under the name MILZBRAND (anthrax in German) and initially played punk. But the love of heavy metal prevailed among the members, so that in 1992, they recorded their first demo under the name MORBID JESTER, which sold over 400 copies regionally. The press also reacted enthusiastically, so the next step was to record their first album: \"Until The Battle Is Won\". This gem of German metal was released on CD in 1994 and was produced by S.L. Coe at Dust Studios. S.L. Coe may be known to hardcore metal fans as the singer of SCANNER and on the second LP of ANGEL DUST. About 2000 copies of the self-production (!) were sold, including many copies in Greece and Japan. Concerts with SAXON, for example, were only a logical consequence. In this bad decade for classic heavy metal, from doom to thrash, MORBID JESTER continued to persevere and followed up with another self-production before the line-up changed. Nevertheless, the band is still active (current album \"Something Wicked\" released in 2016). On \"Until The Battle Is Won\", MORBID JESTER combines elements of German metal with American metal precision, resulting in a particularly unique sound blend. The transparent yet powerful production underscores the high quality of the songs. The respectful remastering for this reissue takes all the advantages up a notch. As the original CD is on its way to becoming an expensive rarity, this new version arrives just in time.","brand":"Morbid Jester","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57447884292440,"sku":null,"price":23964332.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0194111013889.jpg?v=1780612882","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/morbid-jester_until-the-battle-is-won_2022_zyx","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
