i personally want to thank you Pete for introducing me to this amazing band. in the end i bought all the cds and vinyl. Thank you Pete. Heres to Psychotic Waltz 🍻
Some of the reissues already ordered from the Professor of Prog and have really enjoyed them. Time to fill out the four. Thanks, Pete, for including these reissues in the weekly new product episodes. Missed them when originally issued so it's all still new here. This is one of those bands that only came to attention by watching SoT over the last few years. Thanks again, Pete.
Psychotic Waltz were the most important progmetal band in the nineties at least in Europe. Every album would have two European tours and lots of local support bands got the chance to share the stage up to bigger bands like Threshold. If you are only slightly into progmetal you should own all these albums.
Since your review a few weeks ago reminded me of Psychotic Waltz, I have been playing them constantly. I love "A Social Grace", 'Mosquito' and "A God Shaped Void" most out all the albums. I do hope these re-releases are a precursor of a new album. The Prog-metal combined with the very 'Pomp' like vocal melodies and harmonies, are big pluses in my book.
I became a fan of Devon Graves, in the Dead Soul Tribe era. Kept hearing good things about his previous band Psychotic Waltz and when I went to try to buy them, was expected to pay an exorbitant amount for the cd's. Well done on InsideOut for FINALLY re-issuing this entire catalogue
These reissues are great. Though I'm still a little disappointed we didn't get remixes of all the albums. These remasters are fine, but they don't sound much better than the previous remasters on Metal Blade 20 years ago or even the original releases. All these albums are great but they never had a top notch production, sadly.
I already own all four albums and am not much of a completist, so I don’t need the bonus stuff. However, it would be interesting to know how they compare to the originals soundwise. Did anyone have the chance to compare the versions? I never had a problem with the sound of the originals (although Bleeding is way too loud), but I would consider buying the reissues if the sound had improved significantly.
