[Note: Would you believe that many years after the tour the giant stage show dragon used on this tour was rotting in Ronnie James Dio's backyard? Yep. (and probably remained there until after his death)

Check out some news from way back when:

'Samael have decided to turn away from Satanic matters for the recording of their new album, which is being produced by Waldemar Sorychta (...) and still promises to be dark, heavy and out in September...'
--Terrorizer, issue 29, April 1996

'Samael is having major trouble with the German authorities. The band is accused of blasphemy because of the lyrics to the song "To Our Martyrs". The police has raided the offices of their label Century Media and have confiscated the mastertapes of the "Ceremony Of Opposites" album, and if they are not returned the album can't be repressed, so all who have it already: hold on to it, it's going to be worth lots of cash...'
--The Inferno Zine #6

'The master tapes of the record were seized in Germany, and they're not certain yet if they'll be able to continue pressing the record.
However, it won't affect production in the U.S., so it should still be available (unless something happens to our production tape, in which case we'd need the master tape again!). And the new album will not be released until August or September...'
--Ula @ Century Media U.S.

[Above: Medieval Prophecy (1988/1989). This demo features the epic track 'Into the Pentagram'.]

[Note: A very politically incorrect shirt certain to make someone cry... This shirt is from the early glory days of Resistance Records, before Burdi betrayed his beliefs.]

[Note: Anime from 1985, a cult classic!]

[It was strange to see a Playstation game, fifteen years later, based after this rather obscure anime. Unlike the film, it wasn't very good...]

[Note: Among tons of other features, this DVD has the first known recorded Iron Maiden show.]

[Note: From February to April 1990 ten LP's were released called The First Ten Years. They each contained a series of mostly unreleased/B-side/live tracks. If you collected them all, and lived in the UK, you could send in your certificates, like the one pictured above (4/10), and get a special illustrated box, free. Anyone actually get one of these?]
