On January 15th, Atlanta-based metallers Hallows Eve will release LP and Digipak-CD re-issues of their classic 1985 debut album Tales Of Terror via Metal Blade Records.

Tales Of Terror comes newly mastered/ fully restored by Patrick W. Engel at Temple Of Disharmony for this re-issue and also features new liner-notes by Hallows Eve bassist Tommy Stewart. Additionally, the LP format includes a double-sided poster and the 4-panel Digipak-CD includes an expanded 16-page booklet as well as four obscure rehearsal tracks as bonus.

1985 saw the release of the genre defining thrash classic Tales Of Terror. It featured the original versions of the aforementioned demo tracks and five new shredding songs, which took the underground by storm and gained raving reviews like a 9/10 by Götz Kühnemund of Rock Hard Germany. Long out of print in its original version.

Hallows Eve bassist Tommy Stewart checked in with the following comment about the album: "'Tales Of Terror' launched Hallows Eve with a bang! We were a small tribe of street kids full of passion, anger, joy, and the unbridled frustrations of youth at the same time. We wanted to channel all that energy by screaming at the world and that was 'Tales Of Terror'."
