VIA PRESS RELEASE | Porterhouse is humbled to announce the 30th Anniversary reissue of Exit The Dragon from Urge Overkill.
Dark, brooding, and laden with tension, the double LP set is being brought back to life in a newly re-mastered custom vinyl configuration featuring Pink and Purple 12” slabs and completely re-designed center labels. Production of this variant will be limited to 1,000 copies pressed.
Originally released on Geffen Records in 1995, the sprawling work is regarded by fans as a “criminally underrated” collection of compositions that never received the credit it so richly deserved.
History has a way of separating wheat from the chaff and the three decades that have passed since its original release have only cemented this recording’s epic status with both fans and critics such as Chicago’s Jim DeRogatis, who at the time insisted the band was “having the time of their lives” while “illuminating signposts to Big Star III and Exile on Mainstreet.”
Produced by the Butcher Bothers Joe and Phil Nicolo, Exit The Dragon shifts gears from the slick tone of its predecessor Saturation and embraces a low-fi approach that balances perfectly with the album’s stark song selection. Addressing emotional upheaval, isolation and personal struggle, the result is a masterwork and it’s returning for your listening enjoyment. Pre-orders are now open.
