ボーナストラックを追加したCD再発版!!John Mylotte (Sir Ashleigh Grove)を核とする数々の奇行で知られる英国最高峰のカルト集団Metgumbnerbone。元々は1984年にNekrophile Recordsからリリースされる予定だったものの、様々な理由で発売が中止となった伝説的音源[For The Raven]。2025年8月にオーストリアInfinite Fog Productionsが一度カセット版をリリースしましたが即完売、こちらはイタリアOld Europa Cafeが新たに手掛けたCD復刻版。ラストに収録されているボーナス音源"Weltschmerz"は、METGUMBNERBONE録音の中で唯一コンピレーション作品に提供したもの。
FOR THE RAVEN was due to be the next release after LIGELIAHORN on the NEKROPHILE REKORDS label.
Sadly the project fell through and, even more sadly, it coincided with a number of the celebrants being rounded up to enjoy a short holiday at HER MAJESTY'S PLEASURE, expense and, indeed, insistence.
By the time our intrepid DISCIPLES OF DOOM re emerged the momentum had been lost and FOR THE RAVEN was consigned to the METGUMBNERVAULTS to, until recently, only make occasional appearance in bootleg editions plus, a very limited official tape edition out on Infinite Fog.
NB: This new CD re-edition is enriched by following Bonus Tracks:
§ WELTSCHMERZ turned out to be the only METGUMBNERBONE recording that did appear on the NEKROPHILE REKORDS label on the, again, snappily entitled THE ARCHANGELS OF SEX RULE DEATH TO THE REGIME cassette compilation.
It manifested as an edited version under the title DEATH.
