However, unlike the <em>Face Fate<\/em> EP [1987], this time, we went with re-recordings rather than remixes for the other tracks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese new studio versions of classic songs from the first two albums mark the recording debut of Adam Kieffer behind the kit, and are ferocious beyond words.
