Yes The one you have been patiently (or not so patiently, by the emails) waiting for
You will want to get in early on the pre-order for this one!!!

Roxx Records in conjunction with Divine Metal Distro are ready to unleash their latest offering of Pure Metal from one of New Mexico’s finest Thrash Metal bands ever….

The MOSHKETEERS

Originally formed in the mid 80’s as a straight ahead heavy metal band and going by the name Rapture, the band released several demos, including ‘Vacation from Hell’ and ‘Die by the Sword’. The band toured with Barren Cross and shared the stage with many bands including Deliverance and Sacred Warrior. The band would eventually change their name in 1989 to the Moshketeers which would coincide with the bands full transition in to the growing thrash metal scene!

The Moshketeers independently releasing 2 cassette tapes including a 4 song demo and a full length release entitled ‘The Downward Spiral’. The band would begin touring and performing shows with many of metal’s finest bands including Testament, Deliverance, The Crucified and Vengeance Rising. The band continued off and on into the 1990s, releasing another cassette demo in 1997 with four new songs that were suppose to be from an upcoming full length album, that was never finished. The band continued to be open shows for many popular bands including P.O.D. and Ultimatum.

Rumors began flying in 1990 that the Moshketeers were signing with a major label. Rumors and speculations as to what happened have been around for years, but suffice it to say that it just never happened and the tapes would never see the light of day and the masters would be locked away for many, many years…until now!

The Moshketeers ‘The Downward Spiral’ will now see a full CD release, for the first time ever! Set to be completely restored and remastered and include several previously unreleased bonus tracks, including the rare 1997 demo.

Thanks Bill. I just got my order for this one in. LMK that you got me. This underground classic should go fast! Just like the Thresher with the bonus material did!! Rock On.

This looks interesting

I wish they included the other demo on CD.

I really want to preorder this right now but uh... the shirt says "Not Actual Artwork," which is confusing. Can I get a guesstimate of what it's supposed to look like, so I know if I want to do the CD/Shirt pack or not?

Yeah sad that the actual artwork for the shirt was not finished. That's why i pre-ordered the cd-only. Don't want to miss out on the limited bonus disc (like i did with thresher...). Looking forward hearing this.

Hi guys ! We are working on the art now but it is going to be a replica of the bands most popular shirts back then! If you get one just put the size in the comments of your paypal order. As soon as we get it done we will post it.

The quality on the other demo was realy rough! But wait til you hear what we did get!

bill,give any more thought to the fundraiser we talked bout? just asking..also,since you have so nicely covered all my forums! lol! tell me how i can help you promote this???

I know

I'm so psyched that this one is finally seeing the light of day.

Agreed! I have two demo's on cassette tape, believe it or not, and I am looking SO forward hearing them all given the remastering they deserved! The production on the originals I have was sub-par, for sure...which was disapointing because the music was great!

And even more so that it's getting properly done.

I just pre-ordered

$18.99 for this CD!? Did we go back in time to 1990?

Hi Blackearth,

Well we have to feed all the starving children, completely cure world hunger and then...

Actually the pre-order is coming with a Limited Edition of 100 Bonus disc so you are ordering the collectible version. Once the 1 disc set comes out later on there will be a cheaper version if you just want the one disc set.

Sorry for the shellshock / flashback to 1990 we caused you

With the bonus disc, it's not a price I mind paying to support and let them know that if they dig up some old school thrash, that's only been available on cassette or something, there is a market for it and they should release it. If I wasn't so frugal, that would probably make it worth it at that price without the bonus disc, too. But I am frugal, so keep packing in the goodies!

Thanks for the Kudos FireProphet!

We try, and will continue to do so!

Speaking of which got any more good suggestons for us to unearth

I never got to hear them, as with much of these classic rarities, but from what I've read I would totally dig a release of Red Ink's material.

I would love to see some old Jerusalem albums being remastered and re-issued with the original artwork.

Warrior (maybe even with Krigsman as a bonus disc...)
Live: In His Majesty's service
