Canada’s finest hard rock band, Harem Scarem were
formed in 1987 by guitarist Pete Lesperance and singer Harry Hess, formerly of
the heavy metal band Blind Vengeance. The lineup was rounded out by Darren
Smith (drums) and Mike Gionet (bass). They recorded a demo in 1999 and on the
strength of it, they were signed to Warner Music. Their self-titled album was a
significant success in Canada and paved the way to the release of the heavier “Mood
Swings” album in 1993, often considered the crown jewel
of their early releases. Harem Scarem kept on releasing albums regularly during
the 90’s,
until they decided to ultimately change their name and music style to Rubber
between 1999 and 2001.
In 2002, the band came back to melodic hard rock with the
milestone album “Weight
of the World,” which
was their first proper release in the European marketplace thanks to their
newly signed deal with Frontiers. With the Italian label, Harem Scarem released
another five original albums (not counting 2006’s “Human
Nature” and
the remake of “Mood
Swings” in
2013, which marked the band’s return after a 5 years hiatus after the
release of 2008’s “Overload”).
Given the particularly prolific nature of the business
relationship between Frontiers and the band, it was decided to make the band’s
catalog available in an exclusive and limited edition box set, in cooperation
with Warner Music who kindly agreed to license the band’s
first five studio albums. The result is a mammoth box set inclusive of 13
studio records encompassing the whole discography of Harem Scarem with a
gargantuan amount of rare, unreleased, and bonus tracks which make up a full
bonus disc (in addition to original bonus tracks added to the individual
albums).
And on top of this, Frontiers and the band decided to add
a special one time limited run of colored vinyls for the signature catalogue
releases: “Weight
of the World,” “Higher”, “Thirteen”, and the band’s
last studio album, “United”.
Harem Scarem are closing a huge chapter with this release and looking forward
to beginning the next one!
