Red Sea - Blood 25th Anniversary reissue on vinyl and CD

Roxx Records is bringing you another long lost Christian Metal classic that has been out of print for years and years! Red Sea released one album entitled ‘Blood’ before calling it a day back in 1994. The album was critically acclaimed and garnered quite a bit of attention back then, but alas given the hard rock and metal market at that time the album ended up being a one off and a follow up was never recorded. 

Red Sea featured the amazing vocal talents of Robin Basauri (Die Happy, Joshua) the guitar playing of Chris Sorenson (Fear Not) drums of Jeff Martin (Badlands, Racer X) and rounded out on bass by Greg  Chaisson (Badlands, Die Happy).  The album boasted very well done heavy, bluesy rock boarding on metal. What you got here was a band that sounded very much like Badlands but featured Christian lyrics and themes.

2019 marks the 25th anniversary of this classic album and we revisit it and improve upon it in every way we possibly can. This 25th anniversary edition features only those 11 classic tracks completely remastered by Rob Colwell of Bombworks Sound. It also boasts brand new upgraded artwork and design that holds true to the original concept by Scott Waters of No Life Til Metal Graphics. 

Blood is being pressed on vinyl for the very first time ever in a limited edition pressing of only 500 pieces. There will be a limited pressing of 150 on red vinyl and 350 on black vinyl. Also a brand new limited edition CD pressing housed in a jewel case with a beautiful 8 page booklet with lyrics liner notes and previously unreleased archive photos of the band.

As always, create a download option and I'm all over this. But no more CDs.

That being said, the original is solid.

Also, I think the guitarist was Chris Howell (not Sorenson).

Actually, Chris was both listed as Howell AND Sorenson depending on the band he was with.  He was Chris Howell on Red Sea and Chris Sorenson on Love Life.  He is the same guy.

If you don't have this then pick it up but I'm happy with the original.

What was with the name change?

Absolutely love this album! I think it sounds great as it but I will say the new front cover looks wonderful! The old was junk like Barren Cross' Rattle Your Cage. Not really the band's fault. It was those early days of CGI that looks terrible in retrospect. Glad to see the update! 

This album should have been a recognized classic beyond Christian circles. It's got a legendary quality to it. The performances, the production, the songwriting are just unbelievable!

I heard Red Sea on youtube the other day. It's great bluesy hard rock. I'll likely get this on cd and vinyl.
