ABOUT THE ALBUM
Retroactive Records proudly presents the first-ever vinyl release of Titanic's "Maiden Voyage," originally released in 1996. This limited edition reissue, mastered by the renowned Rob Colwell, is pressed on stunning Ocean Blue vinyl and limited to just 200 copies. Accompanied by a 12x12 full-color insert, this release is a must-have for collectors and metal enthusiasts alike. Notably, while this reissue features the 2010 remixed and partially re-recorded audio, it boasts the original classic artwork from the 1996 release, providing a nostalgic visual experience.

"Maiden Voyage" is a monumental work in the epic power metal genre, featuring the iconic Robert Sweet of Stryper on drums. The album's journey began in the late eighties with guitarist Bill Menchen and vocalist Keith Miles, who initially formed Final Axe. Their well-received demo, "Beyond Hell’s Gate," laid the foundation for what would eventually become Titanic.

Titanic emerged in the mid-nineties when Menchen and Miles (now known as Simon Tyler) reunited to create "Maiden Voyage." Fast forward to 2010, and Retroactive Records re-issued the album with new artwork, a fresh mix, and partial re-recordings. This transformation breathed new life into the album, showcasing its intricate compositions and powerful performances.

This vinyl edition captures the essence of Titanic's legacy, offering a unique listening experience that highlights the band's evolution and the timeless quality of their music. Don't miss the chance to own this piece of metal history, reimagined and revitalized for a new generation, with the original 1996 cover art as a tribute to its roots.

Remastered for vinyl by the esteemed Rob Colwell, this reissue celebrates Titanic's musical journey, blending the raw power of their debut "Maiden Voyage" with the melodic finesse of "Screaming In Silence." Led by guitarist Bill Menchen and newly recruited vocalist David St. Andrew, Titanic delivers an electrifying fusion of metal and hard rock that captivates from start to finish.

"Full Steam Ahead" boasts a lineup of heavy-duty hard rockers like "Dead Men’s Bones" and "Holy Ground," alongside infectious hooks on tracks such as "Shovel The Coal" and "Captain Of The Ship." Bill Menchen's masterful guitar work, complemented by drummer David White's precision, forms the backbone of the album's powerhouse sound.

But the excitement doesn't end there. This reissue features two re-recorded tracks from "Maiden Voyage," showcasing original vocalist Simon Tyler and the legendary Robert Sweet from Stryper on drums. "Nightmare" kicks off with aggressive intensity, while "Come Home" shines with its unforgettable melody, now enhanced with a touch of acoustic guitar in its catchy chorus. Fun fact: "Come Home," originally titled "Hollywood Blvd" and a fan favorite from "Maiden Voyage," receives a fresh twist in this reissue.

And let's not forget the influence of Robert Sweet from Stryper, whose powerhouse drumming adds an extra layer of dynamism to these reimagined tracks. His collaboration with Titanic underscores the album's significance and cements its place in rock history.

With impeccable production values and limited-edition variants, "Full Steam Ahead" on vinyl is a must-have for fans of Saint, Barren Cross, Ozzy, and Judas Priest, as well as enthusiasts of Menchen's other projects like Final Axe and The Seventh Power.
