With great pleasure CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC announces to have physically licensed the new album of Heavy Metal act IGNITOR to NY-based company HEAVY ARTILLERY RECORDS.


With such move we are confident to have chosen the best decision to strengthen the name of IGNITOR in US, being HEAVY ARTILLERY one of the steadiest defender of old-school heavy metal, and the perfect partner in terms of release-quality and genre for the band and our label’s profile.
IGNITOR features among his ranks veteran musicians of the US METAL scene such as his founder and main-songwriter STUART LAURENCE (Batlord) from AGONY COLUMN, and the new addition JASON MCMASTER the well-known singer of DANGEROUS TOYZ and WATCHTOWER.

“The Spider Queen” is an original rock opera written by guitarist Stuart Laurence himself in 9 scenes plus an intro and an epilogue, each scene represented by a song.
The album narrates the adventure of a young man facing the quest of his life, avenging his parents’ death. The story revolves around a mysterious talisman, the “Rune of Power” and the magic it possesses, with many turns of events that will lead to an unexpected end.
Each and every one of the numerous characters are impersonated by the versatile, dramatic and impressive vocals of Jason McMaster who delivers a performance to the highest of his standards.
The album has been recorded through 2008 and finally mastered by Nick Landis at Terra Nova Nova Digital Audio, Inc. in Austin TX.
Release-dates are set for the 14th of September (Europe and rest of the world), and for the 22th of September (US/Canada).

IGNITOR LINE UP:
Jason McMaster - Vocals
Batlord - Lead Guitar
Beverly Barrington - Rhythm Guitar
Brendon Bigelow - Bass
Pat Doyle - Drums

What kind of story does the cover tell? Astonished warrior wants to free the spider or the uncrowned queen? :ehm: :lol:

I've heard a rough mix of this album and it's quite good. Very different than previous Ignitor material. McMaster shows a lot of versatility with his vocals on this. Different than most of what he's done before with WatchTower, Dangerous Toys, or Broken Teeth. Looking forward to this release.

Question to Cruz Del Sur & Artillery: Is the vinyl version being released simultaneously with the CD?

Actually we have had no offer from a vinyl release yet, so I am not quite sure it will be released soon on vinyl.

Holy Fuck! I'm very positively surprised, especially after I found the last album to be kinda weak, this song truly kicks ass and Jason is singing absolutely god-like!

Did you hear the studio version or anything of the new record? To me the album is very difficult to hear without remembering the band's past. I like Jason's style of singing with Watchtower or Dangerous Toys for example but here...?!? I'm in a state of confusion. :ehm:

I heard the version in the video (I guess that is probably the album version) and yes it's it not his usual style of singing (even though he said, that he never wanted to sing the Watchtower stuff like he had to) but I love this rough style alot. But I can understand that some people who expected something very different from him are confused. To me it sounds 110% METAL.... :yeah:
