"Ominous Message Of Brutality" is the title of a "new" PROTECTOR CD, that is to be looked upon as the sequel to 2003’s "Echoes From The Past" CD on I Hate Records. The songs are put in the same chronological running order and begin with 4 live tracks recorded in Braunschweig on the 1st of May 1989. Then comes the 1989 LP "Urm The Mad" and lastly the 1990 MLP "Leviathan’s Desire", 17 tracks with a total playing time of 65:18 minutes. Stylistically the booklet also follows in the footsteps of the "Echoes…" CD, having 24 pages featuring loads of lyrics, pictures and liner notes by Martin Missy. The sound has not been meddled with this time either. In connection to the release of the album there will be PROTECTOR t-shirts available for purchase at the I Hate Records website http://ihaterecords.cjb.net/ and through a few selected other sources. The shirts will be limited in number and will never be re-printed in the same design again. http://members.chello.se/martin.missy/
