Magnum - The Valley Of Tears: The Ballads (2017)

Renowned not only for their powerful rock songs but also for countless moving ballads, British rock icons Magnum are set to surprise their fans with a very special release at the very beginning of the coming year: THE VALLEY OF TEARS THE BALLADS, an album featuring ten of their most accomplished ballads, all of them remastered and in parts even re-recorded and remixed. Guitarist, composer and producer Tony Clarkin: The release of this album was originally inspired by my daughter. A few months ago she asked me: ´Magnum have so many beautiful quiet numbers, why don t you put together a compilation highlighting some of the most powerful tracks?` Olly Hahn of Steamhammer/SPV was immediately taken by the concept, so I set down to work on it. THE VALLEY OF TEARS THE BALLADS contains material from the band s different creative phases. Along with newly re-recorded, remixed and remastered versions of more recent ballads from albums such as Into The Valley Of The Moonking, The Visitation and the current studio recording Sacred Blood-Divine Lies, there will also be a newly re-recorded acoustic version of their classic ´Lonely Night` and a new haunting live version of their hit ´When The World Comes Down` from their 1986 cult recording Vigilante.
