Fallujah is now streaming "Sapphire" from the remixed and remastered 10-year anniversary edition of their record The Flesh Prevails. The new version of the album was redone by Zack Ohren (Machine Head, Entheos) and is out July 5. Pre-orders are available here.
Fallujah commented: "Surprise! The first remixed+remastered single Sapphire from the upcoming 10-Year Anniversary edition of The Flesh Prevails is out now. You'll be able to hear the rest of the album on July 5th.
"Back in October, we visited @xaqultimate's studio in Oakland, CA to hear the new mixes he was working on, and were all blown away by the results. We truly feel that Zack has outdone himself with this project, and has given this special 10-year anniversary release the audio treatment it deserves.
Ohren added: "It was a priority to me and the band to do everything I could to bring this to life while staying true as possible to the original. Only original (real) guitar amp tones were used, original (sansamp pedal) bass tones, no fake cymbals added etc, and in fact the drum sounds are actually a bit more natural than they were on the original mix. I even ended up using the original reverbs, as I found switching that kind of stuff changed the character. It was challenging even just re-installing some ancient plugins, and had to print some parts from old 32-bit Cubase, but I got it done.
"With that said, it will sound drastically different to the listener for sure, and aspects of it are remarkably better despite this being a very tricky album to work with for various reasons. Unlike many of these remixed or remastered productions, I'm extremely confident this version will be preferred by 99.99% of people.'"
Fallujah will hit the road this July to play their 2014 album The Flesh Prevails in full! The tour will feature Persefone, Vulvodynia, and Dawn Of Ouroboros and you can get your tickets here starting on March 15.
