Gems Volume 3 - Red Vinyl

Roxx Records is excited to bring you a brand-new Limited-Edition series entitled Roxx GEMS. What is Roxx GEMS you ask? Roxx GEMS is a new series that will focus on many special Christian rock releases that may not have otherwise been able to get a vinyl or cd remastered edition. Items originally released in short run, cassette only demo tapes, or maybe previously unreleased GEMS from bands that have let us in to their archives. It may even feature a focus on a special instrumental artist from days gone by. Who knows what direction this may take but we know one thing for sure these will all be one time only limited edition runs. However you look at it, it means more great classic rock and metal for your enjoyment, and today we announce Roxx GEMS Volume III! Volume III will feature two legendary and classic metal artists one from the 1980's and one from the early 2000's. Up first on Side A the legendary Southern California band VENGEANCE will grace the first 5 tracks of the Gems series consisting of the bands infamous and legendary 'red demo' tape release. One of, if not the, earliest introductions to Christian thrash music. These special 5 tracks were recorded in 1987, and would launch one of the most historic moments in early extreme music! Volume III will also feature on Side B another classic metal release that is also celebrating it's 20th anniversary release this year featuring Arizona rockers TYKKUS with their 2005 EP entitled Ümlaut. This classic release was originally released in a very limited quantity CDR release.
