MORBID SAINT NEWS:
UPDATE 1/31/10:
Relapse Records to reissue “Spectrum Of Death" along with 2 new songs!
According to guitarist Jim Fergades: "We are in the process of recording the new songs right now. We feel they will relate more to Spectrum as far as style but we are looking for something slightly different as far as the overall sound goes. There will also be two live videos on the cd from a show we played with Wrath back in 1991, the videos are for 'Destructions System' and 'Halls Of Terror'."

UPDATE 10/10/08: From BLABBERMOUTH.NET:
“Power Play Records has set an October 21 release date for
the reissue of the thrash/death metal classic "Spectrum Of Death"
from the long-defunct Sheboygan, Wisconsin band MORBID SAINT.
Commented the label: "We worked directly with former members of MORBID
SAINT [and their] management and consulted with them to create an incredible
reissue. The release has a full-color, 12-page booklet with all-new artwork and
layout, a brand new cover, some new photos, full song lyrics, and a full-color
screen printed CD face. The CD has been professionally remastered and sounds significantly
better than anything you can download (and the levels are an improvement on the
original CD source as well)."
The remastered track "Scars" from the "Spectrum Of Death"
reissue is available for streaming on the Power Play Records MySpace page.
Four one-minute samples clips from the remaster have been uploaded to this location.
"Spectrum Of Death" was released in 1989 on a small Mexican label,
Avanzada Metallica, and was issued in 1991 through Grind Core. The band also
recorded a set of demos called "Destruction System", which Keltic
packaged together with "Spectrum Of Death" into one CD.”
UPDATE 10/01/08: From POWERPLAYRECORDS.COM:

UPDATE:
I have just been informed that there is a video of Morbid Saint playing live at Metal Fest III in 1989 on Google’s video site. To see this video click here
I have received several e-mail messages from fans asking about any additional video or music recordings by the band. I am not aware of any video footage of the band, but I do know that Morbid Saint recorded an 8-song LP entitled “Destruction System” in 1992. Thanks to MetalBrain for the info and for giving me a chance to hear this recording. For more information on “Destruction System” click here
