ROGUE MALE Reissues Due In September

August 24, 2007

ROGUE MALE — one of the most underrated bands ever to emerge on the NWOBHM scene in the middle '80s — will have its two albums — "First Visit" and "Animal Man" — re-released via Metal Mind productions on September 17.

Called "the next big thing" by Kerrang! magazine, the band recorded two brilliant albums, but soon after that left the music business for good. ROGUE MALE was in fact one of the first bands to establish the crossover genre, which mixed various musical inspirations to form a completely new style.

"First Visit", ROGUE MALE's impressive debut release was at its time a truly valuable piece, conjoining heavy speed metal with aggressive rock 'n' roll in the likes of MOTÖRHEAD and a significant techno edge. The album featured nine catchy and melodic tracks showcasing the co-op of the best elements of metal and rock 'n' roll. New edition includes two bonus tracks! "Animal Man" was the follow-up to the impressive debut, featuring a thrilling collection of sharp speed metal/rock'n'roll songs with a techno edge to it. The re-release includes one bonus track!

The "First Visit" and "Animal Man" reissues will both come in a new digipak edition, limited to a hand-numbered 2,000 copies.
