Roxx Records is excited to bring you a brand-new Limited-Edition series entitled Roxx GEMS
What is Roxx GEMS you ask? Roxx GEMS is a new series that will focus on many special Christian rock releases that may not have otherwise been able to get a vinyl or cd remastered edition. Items originally released in short run, cassette only demo tapes, or maybe previously unreleased GEMS from bands that have let us in to their archives. It may even feature a focus on a special instrumental artist from days gone by. Who knows what direction this may take but we know one thing for sure these will all be one time only limited edition runs.
How ever you look at it, it means more great Classic Christian rock and Metal for your enjoyment, and today we announce Roxx GEMS Volume III and Volume IV
Volume III will feature two legendary and classic Christian metal artists one from the 80’s and one from the early 2000's. Up first on Side A the legendary Southern California band VENGEANCE will grace the first 5 tracks of the Gems series consisting of the bands infamous and legendary 'red demo' tape only release. One of, if not the, earliest introductions to Christian thrash music. These special 5 tracks were recorded in 1987, and would launch one of the most historic moments in early Christian extreme music!
Volume III will also feature on side B another classic Christian metal release that is also celebrating its 20th anniversary release this year featuring West Coast rockers TYKKUS with their 2005 EP entitled 'Ümlaut'.This classic release was originally released in a very limited quantity CDR release. If you are not familiar with TYKKUS get ready to blast the roof off with this very Judas Priest inspired classic piece of Christian metal history. Featuring 4 tracks of bold and in your face metal music with a great message.
There you have it Roxx GEMS Volume’s III & IV will be released simultaneously on April 25, 2025 as ONE TIME ONLY pressings on limited edition heavy weight colored vinyl and CD. Volume III will be on red vinyl and Volume IV on jade blue vinyl. The CD versions will also be limited edition pressings housed in a jewel case with 4 panel inserts mirroring the vinyl products.
