The Vengeance Rising/Destruction Comes (reissue)

I just got it in the mail today and something weird happened. Track 1 doesn't play. It just counts down with no sound for 5 minutes (like one of those hidden track type deals) and the first song ends up starting on track 2... Does anyone else have this problem with the Intense Millenium reissue? I don't know if this is a isolated manufacturing defect or what.

My reissue of Athropy-Violent By Nature on Metal Mind is also like that. It is a bonus video that for some reason plays first although it is listed as the last track on the disc. Naturally playing a video on your stereo just creates five minutes of dead silence, which i personally would much prefer than having to listen to VR Smile

This happens when a multimedia disc is compiled in one session as mixed mode cd, instead of multisession CD with audio and data files that are stored in two sessions (aka CD Extra).

In mixed mode the data tracks are burned first followed by the audio tracks. Some Audio CD players are not capable of recognizing the data files as such and attempt to play them, hence the weird result.

I learned this the hard way with one of our early releases. I was lucky to catch the glitch early and opted to re-press, and in a hindsight I am glad I did, as it seems many people have players which would choke on the data files and cause confusion.

I've had other cd's in the past that had the enhanced bonus material but worked just fine... Or those two sided discs that have one side the dvd and the other the music.

I have both of the Metal Mind Atrophy CDs and they both have that same problem. Track one is a video so when I play it in my car stereo I have to remember to skip right to track 2 otherwise I'm sitting there listening to "dead air." Very Happy

They certainly appear to be. In addition to the problem with those Atrophy CDs I also had their reissues of the Sadus catalog and the SWALLOWED IN BLACK CD had the VISION OF MISERY album on it, and vice versa. Duh!

It must just be on those few releases because I have a couple of Metal Mind's products and have had no issues with them. $don\'t know$

Yes, Track 1 is the video. You have to hit the skip button. It is a problem with the IM reissue, but they will not be fixing it.

Did your copy come with the guitar pick and sticker?

It also depends on the CD player. My car stereo refuses to play CD's like that. But other players I have has no problems at all.

There was a sticker but not a pick.

This is the pick that came with the first 100 (or was it 200?) CDs sold.

I had heard about that. But when I ordered Swallowed in Black, it didn't have A Vision of Misery, the error had been fixed by that point.

I never had any problems with Metal Mind except for the dents and other small flaws on the Digipak packaging... and small scratches on the disc. I haven't had one that skips or plays the video file on the 1st track yet.
