TREBLINKA

Century Media Records has issued the following:

“We were misfits, completely outside of general society. Nobody liked us. We clung to each other through school, and only found relief through heavy metal – as extreme as possible.”

*****

“Shrine Of The Pentagram” – the entire recordings of TREBLINKA – is out now. Available as either a 3CD Mediabook or a deluxe 5LP box set, the release includes the entire recordings of this infamous bands. In order to prevent the material to be bootlegged again and again, “Shrine Of The Pentagram” offers not only the well-known demos “Crawling In Vomits” and “The Sign Of The Pentagram” as well as the tracks of the legendary “Severe Abominations” 7inch, but also five rehearsal tracks, a total of 21 live tracks (of which eight have never been available anywhere) and – as a special bonus – the entire “Sumerian Cry” album as an instrumental studio outtake.

All songs have been remastered for best sound quality. Especially the two demo have never sounded better. The raw rehearsal tracks and the chaotic live material have been dedusted and now sound surprisingly fresh and listenable. No comparison to all the weak sounding bootlegs that have been circulating the last couple of years.

*****

“The aim for Treblinka was to be the most extreme band, in everything. We really thought a lot about the most disgusting things we could think of, and came up with stuff like earwigs crawling around in your veins – and hence, we had a song title. When we made a flyer it wasn’t just one inverted cross, it was more like 4000!”

*****

This release was done in full cooperation with the band. Besides the musical content you get a very interesting interview that Daniel Ekeroth (author of “Swedish Death Metal”) did with Stefan “Emetic” Lagergren and Jörgen “Juck” Thullberg. And Olivier Badin (writer for Terrorizer and Iron Fist) had a long chat with Johan “Hellslaughter” Edlund about his view on the band today. No doubt, “Shrine Of The Pentagram” tells you the whole story of TREBLINKA.

Century Media Records is proud to announce the first ever official “complete recordings” release of TREBLINKA, one of most notorious death / black metal bands of all times.

Treblinka

TREBLINKA were founded in 1987 by Johan “Lucifer Hellslaughter” Edlund and Jörgen “Juck the Ripper” Thullberg. During the band’s short existence of only two years, TREBLINKA have released two demo tapes and one 7inch EP. After the release of the last recording, the now infamous “Severe Abominations” EP, the band changed its name to TIAMAT and became one of the biggest and most influential metal bands of the 90ies.

Ever since then the entire TREBLINKA recordings have remained untouched by the band, just being heavily exploited by bootleggers all over the world.

But constant dripping finally wore the stone, so now the time is due to announce the release of “Shrine Of The Pentagram”, the first ever fully authorized release of TREBLINKA since 1989.

“Shrine Of The Pentagram” will be released on October 7th, 2013 as a Kingsize 3CD Mediabook, a Deluxe 5LP box set with LP sized booklet as well as digital download.

Daniel Ekeroth, author of “Swedish Death Metal” has done an elaborate interview with Jörgen “Juck” Thullberg and Stefan “Emetic” Lagergren revealing many unknown details and a lot of entertaining side notes from the history of the band while Olivier Badin (writer for Terrorizer and Iron Fist) has interviewed Johan “Hellslaughter” Edlund for his view on the importance and influence of TREBLINKA.
