Description
Initially produced by Fredrik Nordstroem at Studio Fredman in Goteborg, Sweden ( IN FLAMES... ), ARMAGEDDON''s debut album was originally released in May 1997. Now based in New York, Swedish technical death metal band ARMAGEDDON have re-recorded and are re-releasing this Legendary gem now bearing the title of "Crossing the Rubicon - Revisited".
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, "Crossing the Rubicon'''' really received a roaring response and generated waves when it came out and has become an imparable Swedish metal classic album ! .Band leader Christopher Amott remembers : "The creation of the whole project was a collaboration between me and Michael The album is a concept album about the destruction of the planet, and the escape and subsequent adventures of the earth''s survivors. Apart from the obvious metal influences, we were also looking towards bands like Yes and Rush for the conceptual progressive rock feel of the 70s''hence our decision to give each member a solo track."
"The new version has more of a more solid, tighter feel. The overall sound on the new version is thicker and heavier, due to a lower tuning. Additionally, the vocals are different; our new vocalist Antony has added his own touch to them. A lot of the guitar leads are different and have benefited from my development as a player over the last twenty years."
