Magnum Releases Special Album In January 2021!
Written by Johnson Stephen on October 28, 2020
It’s been three years since Magnum brought out ‘The Valley Of Tears – The Ballads’, a compilation that focused on the British Rock act’s quiet, more otherworldly and dreamy side.
Three years during which the idea matured to follow this successful release with a companion piece ‘Dance Of The Black Tattoo’, which will be released January 8th 2021 through Steamhammer/SPV as CD digipak, 2LP gatefold version, special CD/LP bundle with shirt [only at the Steamhammer shop], download and stream: https://Magnum.lnk.to/
What makes this album so special is the fact that Magnum have gone through their impressive archive, looking for Rare Live cuts and outstanding Radio versions and have come up with spirited Live recordings and edits that concentrate on the essential components of some of their most accomplished Rock numbers.
Naturally, Guitarist and Band mastermind, Tony Clarkin, has used this opportunity to remaster and update all 14 tracks so that they comply with the state-of-the-art of (sound) technology. Says Clarkin ”There have always been two aspects to Magnum: a slightly more tender and lyrical facet, but first and foremost of course our powerful, Rocking side. And that’s the element that ‘Dance Of The Black Tattoo’ documents impressively.”
