About the box set:

The Crypt is proud to re-issue the first two albums from Arizona's cult Death metal act, NUCLEAR DEATH, Bride of Insect and Carrion for Worm. Both releases will be luxurious double vinyl sets with new liner notes, classic band photos and original artwork. Bride of Insect will feature the "Wake Me When I'm Dead" 1986 demo and "Welcome to the Minds of the Morbid" 1987 demo. Carrion for Worm will feature "A Symphony of Agony" 1987 demo and the "Vultures Feeding" 1988 demo. Forged in 1986 in Phoenix, Arizona, Nuclear Death were one of the few bands in the genre with a female vocalist, Lori Bravo. Their style was compared to the likes Impetigo, Blasphemy, Autopsy, Deceased, and Repulsion. Their first demo, Wake Me When I'm Dead, was released later that same year, receiving positive reviews from American and overseas zines. They were notable as at the time very few thrash metal artists had female singers. In 1991, the band released their more controversial work, entitled Carrion for Worm, which features vocals by Autopsy's Chris Reifert on two songs. This ultimate edition will be strictly limited to a one time only pressing of 666 hand-numbered copies - 222 of which will be classic black vinyl. These killer slabs of wax come housed in 2 separate jackets with UV High Gloss Varnish, featuring the both of the original Wild Rags covers and layouts. Also included will be a 12 page- zine styled booklet with classic flyers, exclusive band photos, classic interviews, new liner notes by Lori Bravo and an introduction by Michele "Mick" Toscan / The Nuclear Abominations rag! Each gatefold will contain a huge poster of each respective original cover artwork. Both gatefolds come housed in an amazing, heavy gauge case wrapped, hand numbered box.

 

Glorious Times also has a very limited amount of these sweet Nuclear Death "Bride of Insect" woven patches for sale. $6 (includes worldwide shipping) paypal to glorioustimesdeathbook@gmail.com

There are advantages to some of the social network sites, sure, just not all those silly 'apps' which waste your time deleting for the first 5 minutes of logging into your account. One of the GT editors is NOT a fan of facebook, but has been transformed into a sort of social networking whore - having to update and add to things to keep people informed (and yeah, DON'T let him hornswaggle you with tales of 'he dosn't like it' because he ran with it too).

JOIN US ON MYSPACE

Let's face it - most bands have official myspace and facebook pages, which DO work - look at GT - we sold out in 19 days of announcing pre-order availability on myspace (with basically no other advertising at all). Most armchair scenesters have blatantly said we blow because we didn't embark on a massive glossy public relations assault, issuing glossy postcards, directing fancy avi advertising for upload to youtube etc - and well, you know, that all takes a shit load of cash doesn't it?

FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK

GLORIOUS TIMES is DIY - and not DIY today which usually means 'make it look like crap and label it old school'. Hell, none of us even used the label 'old school' until people started telling us we ARE old school.

Facebook and Myspace have been invaluable tools to reach people fast, to take true pre-order fast, and gather funds as fast as we could to get enough cash to go to print.

To reward those folks beyond just 'here's your book' - we have been attempting to keep the freebies coming, and further illustrate that GT is (as one insightful young man, Jason Kiss, from Advent Abortus put it) -  "a living document".

Exclusive to our Facebook and/or Myspace followers, downloads of alternate materials - new band layouts in pdf format, and in some cases music samples (as with Vile Vindicition) or full recordings such as Lori Bravo Raped 'When The Sun Dies' EP, or Paineater's 2009 demo, or the first 2 out of print Where's The Pope? original vinyl rips (from 1987 and 1989). All of which are endorsed by the artists involved, sort of separating our blog from the blogs that are more strictly based along the music download.

It's a simple way to say thanks, and keep the concept, helping the artists still active and introducing some people to new music, as has indeed been the case. A wonderful side effect we never really expected. Really though, as this book was originally only to be produced in 2 copies for the private use of the editors - everything that's been born from the experience is an 'added extra'.

So the offer is here - visitors to this blog are seeing some amazingly rare photos, photos which are NOT being posted at the social network pages, and if you end up seeing them elsewhere then they've been lifted. Likewise - offers of downloadable stuff are made to the select group that join the sites to follow us - wanna join us?

It's simple (just like the book's concept and design) - you know that - c'mon and join us and get a chance to see different stuff GT related.

It's worth the time and couple of minutes hassle to sign up, even if you don't like these sorts of sites, you don't need to go public or do shit but join and request us to check things out, the offer is there and there ain't no strings.

You can also join our mailing list by simply sending an email to glorioustimesdeathbook@gmail.com and typing UPDATES in the subject field. Although GT is done and sold out, this gets you onto our mailing list - and whatever the future might bring (reprint, foreign language translation, 2nd volume or cd's and other things) our INSIDERS on this mailing list will be the first to know about it, above any blog/myspace/facebook posting which will come after the INSIDERS have been informed.

SINCE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT OF NUCLEAR DEATH AS WELL, HERE'S A MESSAGE FROM LORI BRAVO HERSELF:

I wanted to remind folks that I still have copies for sale of ,'For Our Dead','All Creatures Great and Eaten','The Planet Cachexial' (with full-size story book) and 'Harmony Drinks of Me'!!!! They are always $6 each!

I HAVE JUST DIED...

Long time friend, artist Lori Bravo, has been no stranger to the editors of Glorious Times.  In a unique show of strength, comradery and kinship to our concept, we managed to be able to include the full line up of one of the most controversial acts from the pioneering days in our book.

Special fond sentiment packed to the gills with never seen photos, our NUCLEAR DEATH section has proven to be one of the standout hits amongst those lucky enough to have a copy of this book (originally only 2 were going to be produced.)

http://www.myspace.com/loribravoraped  THIS IS THE PAGE TO COME TO if you want to delve waaaayyy outside of the box, to get a taste of what Lori is up to TODAY. A far cry from a shotgun marriage to the devil, Lori has been betrothed since an uncanny childhood prophecy, and walked a walk in the company of few at best.

The material on offer thus far is era or phase based, when despair threatened to fulfill the promise of corruption and gift of death. Now, since a victory over the flesh, and a return into the fold of some dear friends who didn't take the easy way out, NEW material is being worked on as we speak that is proving to be revolutionary even to the standards Lori sets for herself.

Impossible to pidgeon hole, we are not even going to try.

You'll know if you are adventurous spirit, and if you've followed Lori's development and understand her influences (even in part) - we think you'll be pleasantly surprised. This is stuff that just does NOT fit into your preconceptions, so you can choose to accept the challenges lying in wait or not, by visiting the LORI BRAVO RAPED myspace page and sampling some depression that isn't even listed in Mim's Psychoactive Drug Treatment Dosage Protocols.

And from that state what happens next? To be continued....
