| Tuesday, May 12, 2009 - Spinal Tap - Back from the dead | This year marks the 25th anniversary of the cult classic film This Is Spinal Tap and now England's Spinal Tap is celebrating with the release of their first new album in almost two decades - Back From The Dead (out June 16th via The Label Industry Records/Artist2Market/Ingrooves, distributed in Canada by Sonic Unyon Distribution).
On Back From The Dead, Tap members David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel and Derek Smalls unearth their long-self-suppressed studio versions of the classic songs from the movie This is Spinal Tap, as well as six new additional songs, and an exclusive hour long accompanying DVD featuring a track-by-track video commentary by the band. Back From The Dead also features guest appearances by Phil Collen, KEITH EMERSON, JOHN MAYER and STEVE VAI.
"This album title says it all. We're back from the dead. But we weren't dead. But we definitely are back," proclaimed Hubbins.
Back From The Dead is a deluxe CD/DVD package aggressively priced and containing 19 original Spinal Tap songs, a one-hour DVD and unique pop-up diorama package that unveils three 12-inch action figures of the band along with a proportionally sized Stonehenge.
"While the movie and soundtrack accurately represented our stage sound at the time, the studio versions of these songs on this album represent the cosmic maturation of the material, within a digital context. Also, they're louder," stated Smalls.
