‘World Of Silence MMXVII’ is an entirely re-recorded and remixed version of the debut album by Canadian progressive power metal band BOREALIS. Originally released in 2008, this 2016 remix now sees these songs officially made available through a label for the very first time! The diehard fanbase surely will be amazed by the massive improvement on sound and performance over the original recordings. ‘World Of Silence MMXVII’ is a must have for all prog power metal lovers!
“We were in talks with AFM about re-releasing ‘World Of Silence’ when we suddenly thought “why not re-record the entire album for this occasion?”, BOREALIS singer/guitarist Matt Marinelli says. “It was originally self-released in 2008. A lot has happened since then. The band has evolved a lot and two more albums were released in 2011’s ‘Fall From Grace’ and 2015’s ‘Purgatory’. So making this re-issue of ‘World Of Silence’ a representation of what BOREALIS is about in 2017 made sense for us. We are in the fortunate position that our drummer Sean Dowell runs his own studio, so recording, mixing/mastering didn’t cause any problems for us in this case.”
After finishing work on ‘World Of Silence MMXVII’, BOREALIS has two more exciting projects for 2017: in April, the band will re-release their 2011 album ‘Fall From Grace’ via AFM and has already continued songwriting for their upcoming studio album with all new material, which will drop in Autumn 2017.
