30th anniversary since it's original release!'ONE NIGHT IN HELL', a demo sound source originally released on cassette tape in 1994, has been digitally remastered using the original master newly discovered in the office warehouse to achieve the highest sound quality ever!It will be released on Mini CD and analog 7-inch single on December 25!It was the first step in the band's exploratory steps toward it's own unique horror-punk style, two years after the band's formation in 1992, and as a result of the release of this demo tape, the band made a great leap forward.Digitally remastered based on the original master discovered in the Balzac office warehouse in recent years. The sound distortion, deterioration, and left/right volume imbalance that occurred when dubbing the original cassette tape in 1994 have been greatly improved. This title has been remastered and reissued in the past using cassette tapes as the master source, but this time, the latest digital remaster using newly discovered original masters has achieved the most powerful sound pressure and sound quality ever!The demo 'ONE NIGHT IN HELL' released in 1994 contains all 6 songs that represent early Balzac on cassette tape, and other items such as booklets, badges, and cards are stored in a handmade box. About two years have passed since the formation in 1992, and this is the first step towards their own horror punk while searching, and as a result of the release of this demo tape, the band made a big leap forward. This includes the most important songs of early Balzac, which became a big stepping stone to the release of their second single 'ATOM-AGE VAMPIRE IN 308' from MCR COMPANY in the spring of 1995, and their first album 'THE LAST MEN ON EARTH' from ALCHEMY RECORDS in the fall of 1995.The album includes 'ATOM-AGE VAMPIRE IN 308' and 'FIENDISH GHOULS', the originals of their early hits 'PSYCHO IN 308', as well as 'A TASTE OF BLOOD', which has remained popular among long-time Balzac fans despite not being included in their later official albums. Although it cannot be denied that the band is still in the early stages of development at this point, with their performance and expressiveness still immature, the album is filled with passion and an attitude to forge ahead with their own horror punk, making it an essential work when talking about early Balzac.For this anniversary, the album will be released as a 8cm CD and a 7-inch vinyl single, both of which are limited editions. The jacket designs were also directly scanned from the original manuscripts of the time, and the artwork was resized and rearranged to make use of the dirt and noise of the original manuscripts.
