This Valentine’s Day (February 14th) we’ll be releasing a digital-only collection of hard to find tracks from the early days of the band! Mark your calendars and spread the word!
BELLA MORTE – Rare and Unreleased (volume 1)
This digital-only release compiles material from the early years of Bella Morte. It features the song “Fall No More” from the “Vampire The Masquerade : Music From The Succubus Club” compilation, available for the first time in years. Included in its entirety is the bands’ first EP “Remorse” which was recorded in the band’s rehearsal space directly to cassette soon after the band was formed. “Remorse” was sold as a cassette-only, limited-edition EP, and helped to fund Bella Morte’s debut full-length album, “Remains”. Also included on this compilation is a cover of the classic 45 Grave song “Party Time” which was made famous by the film “Return of the Living Dead”, and the long sought after “Through The Window”, which was recorded for the album “The Quiet” but was never released.
This album will be available through Amazon, iTunes and most anywhere that sells digital music!
Disappointed that it’s digital only. Any chance of a CD or vinyl pressing in the future?
Nick, I doubt we’ll be making a hard copy of this one… The cost is too high and there are almost no retail stores left to put them in. I wanted to make sure these songs didn’t stay buried forever, so a digital release seemed the most logical. ~Andy
I still have my much-loved copy of the original Remorse EP on cassette.
That rocks, Chris! Hope you’re doing well!
Awesome! A Valentine’s from Bella Morte. lol Looking forward to hearing some of the oldies.
a limited edition vinyl release would be awesome.
Don – Agreed! Unfortunately, vinyl can be a tough sell for most folks seeing as only a few of us still have record players.
Still, it’s not completely impossible that it won’t happen down the road! ~Andy
I’ve been waiting on something like this for a very long time. I’ve always wanted to hear the stuff from Remorse but was never able to. I am so excited about this I could pee!
I’m excited as well about finally getting “Remorse” out there! It’s incredibly nostalgic for me.

This makes my Valentine’s Day ultimately perfect; thanks a lot!!
How soon will this be available? Is there some computerized thing that instantly makes it available at the strike of midnight?
I set an alarm for 3:00 am as a reminder, assuming I’ll be awake because I always am (It’s 5:30 AM right now, noshame). However, I’d prefer to set my alarm for the exact second it’s available… because I’m a brat and stuff… you know.
Sharley – I would assume the album goes live at midnight, but I’m not 100% sure about that. Since you appear to share my love of a vampire’s sleep schedule I’d just keep checking in!
And that homework assignment sounds great! LOVE it! ~Andy
PS- my computer homework, that I’m doing RIGHT NOW, is to “search my favorite band on myspace” and then write a paper about my experience with that search. It’s a pretty pleasurable experience if I do say so myself.
Misty – I hope you make it to the bathroom in time!
