Nobody would have expected in 2023 that at the "Keep It True Festival" the whole hall sings along the chorus of "Somewhere Up In The Mountains", the now very rare single from 1981, and then also a new, practically first album is released! Good times for NWOBHM fans! MARQUIS DE SADE from London were founded in 1979 and besides the today priceless 7" single "Somewhere Up In The Mountains/Black Angel" there was also a tape with four songs in 1981. Bassist Pete Gordelier subsequently joined Angel Witch and can be heard on several albums. Keyboardist San Remo started Sanctus in 1982, whose collected works (two tapes) were released by High Roller in 2015. In 2005, the recordings of MARQUIS DE SADE (single and tape) were released as a bootleg. High Roller Records finally followed up in 2012 with an official version on CD and LP. In 2015, Roxxcalibur covered the song "Somewhere Up In The Mountains" on their third successful album "Gems Of The NWOBHM" and helped the track gain additional popularity. These circumstances finally led to the reunion of MARQUIS DE SADE in 2019, now with five original members after a death. Old and new ideas were worked out and they finally recorded the first album "Chapter II" after all these years. At the same time they were able to play the first successful club shows after Corona and finally, in April 2023, the accolade at the renowned scene festival Keep It True near Tauberbischofsheim. "Chapter II" is not only a feast for NWOBHM fans and lovers of British heavy rock in general, but also features epic and pompous elements of the Magnum brand. The naturally kept production, mastered separately for CD and vinyl, makes for an authentic yet powerful listening experience.
