Northern German melodic power metallers Mob Rules are celebrating their 30th anniversary. Time to let it rip! With "Celebration Day - 30 Years Of

Mob Rules", the band around singer Klaus Dirks releases a compilation that could hardly have become more extensive and of higher quality. With

over 150 minutes of playing time (spread over two CDs), the capacity of the medium is stretched to the limit with 30 hand-picked songs, including not

only obvious band classics such as "Black Rain", "Hollowed Be Thy Name" and "Rain Song", but also songs that have previously been less in the

spotlight. In addition to this great cross-section of the band's career, there are also some tracks that were previously only available digitally (for

example the latest single "Hymn Of The Damned" and the Amon Amarth cover "Raven's Flight"). Especially for this compilation, all these tracks have

been carefully remastered by Markus Teske.With three brand new cover songs, "Celebration Day - 30 Years Of Mob Rules" also contains previously

unreleased material. With great attention to detail, the band took on songs as different as "Run To The Hills" (Iron Maiden), "Fame" (Irene Cara) and

"Square Hammer" (Ghost). All in all, every detail of "Celebration Day - 30 Years Of Mob Rules" displays the incredibly high quality standards of a band

that doesn't do things by halves. Here's to the next 30 years!
