Rex Scott/Zion news....

Some news from Rex Scott regarding Zion from Facebook:

The lost 2 inch restored tape reels for the Thunder From The Mountain album have been found! The planned complete remix and remaster can now move forward that will include vinyl!

I have the original on CD but I may get this. There is the possibility of there being some bonus tracks.

If the bonus tracks are more than poor quality demos or live recordings, I'd be interested in the remix/remaster that Rex wants to do with this.  I'd also be open to him reviving Zion in the absence of X-Sinner.  He could do some gospel metal with Zion and keep the clean secular stuff in GX Project.  Or, just combine the two under the Zion name could be cool, too.

I like Zion. Rex is best when he has a good producer. The Zion album and X-Sinner's "Peace Treaty" were, IMHO, far, far better than anything I've heard from him since. His voice sounds dreadful on the few GX and X-Sinner tracks I've heard from more recent times.

Have you listened to Raze Some Hell? The sound was great on that one.

Wow, I thought it was terrible. I pulled it out and listened to it again the other day. It pales in comparison to the first 2 releases and the dynamic range on it is awful.

I'm really hoping GX will do some more because I like what they are doing, just didn't care for the last album.

To each his own. I thought it was the best sounding by far. When I talked to Rex, he said that they are are going for a similar sound with the next one.

I'm looking forward to more music from GX I just hope the production isn't brickwalled like it was on the last one.
