CREMATORY announce vinyl reissues of ground-breaking, first records “Transmigration” and “…Just Dreaming”

Now, as a gift for the great support of their fans, the iconic dark metal pioneers have announced to reissue the first demo and their first two albums from their distinctive back catalogue: “Engulfed in Darkness” (Demo, 1992), “Transmigration” (1993) and “…Just Dreaming” (1994) on limited colored vinyl, slated for a re-release on July 4th via ROAR!

CREMATORY were founded in January 1991 and have grown to become Germany’s leading gothic metal band, with 17 studio albums to their name. Their versatile sound ranges from melodic death metal to electro/dark wave-inspired parts, some of which are performed in German. In over three decades, CREMATORY have released numerous classics, including unmistakable hits such as “Tears Of Time”, “Shadows Of Mine”, “Fly”, “The Fallen”, “Greed”, “Shadowmaker”, or from their current chartbreaker “Destination”, the grandiose “Welt aus Glas”. Alongside 90s cult acts such as TYPE O NEGATIVE, TIAMAT, MOONSPELL, THE GATHERING and PARADISE LOST, CREMATORY are one of the most successful representatives of their genre.

“Engulfed In Darkness” is their very first demo tape, released in February 1992, now available for the first time as a Mini-LP, limited to 500 copies in colored vinyl! The line-up at the time, featuring singer Felix Stass and drummer Markus Jüllich, included guitarist Lotte Först and bassist Marc Zimmer. A legendary demo and death metal assault, remastered by current CREMATORY guitarist and producer Rolf Munkes at Empire Studios Bensheim!
