Originally released on RCA Records in 1985, New Birth by MASS stands as a milestone in melodic heavy metal, blending arena-worthy hooks with a tough, streetwise edge. Long out of print on vinyl and cherished by fans across the globe, New Birth finally returns in 2025 with it's first-ever official vinyl reissue - a celebration of the album's 40th anniversary.This exclusive reissue from Retroactive Records is fully band-supported and officially licensed, offering a faithful yet refreshed presentation of this hard rock classic. Remastered in 2025 by acclaimed engineer Rob Colwell (Stryper, Helstar, Barren Cross), the album now roars with renewed clarity and power - bringing new life to songs that already felt timeless.Pressed on heavyweight Strawberry Jam vinyl and limited to just 200 copies worldwide, this collector's edition is as visually striking as it is sonically stunning. The packaging includes a 12x12 full-color insert featuring the complete lyrics and a massive photo collage of rare images from the band's archives, offering fans a deeper connection to the legacy of Mass. Adding to the historic nature of this reissue, vocalist Louis St. August contributes a heartfelt new message to fans - a reflection on four decades of music, memories, and ministry.Also included is the bonus track Endless Thoughts, provided by the band specifically for this reissue - making this the definitive vinyl edition of New Birth. With standout tracks like the heavy-hitting title cut, the soaring ballad Crying Alone, and the MTV-featured single Do You Love Me, the album delivers a perfect mix of melody and muscle, produced by the legendary Tony Platt (AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Uriah Heep).For fans of Stryper, Barren Cross, and Quiet Riot, New Birth remains essential listening - a powerful, passionate album that still inspires, forty years after it first shook the foundations of 1980s metal. Now reborn on vinyl, New Birth sounds bigger, bolder, and more vital than ever.
Vinyl release of Mass - New Birth. Released through RETROACTIVE RECORDS and available on LP.
