The first one contains the 1981âs recording, five live songs of 1981-83 and for bonus the 1980âs demo!

Both of the CDs are digital re-master, with lyrics, bio and many unreleased pics all in 12-pages full color booklets!
In 1975 five years prior to Kraken, the spark began when Karm was inspired after seeing Michael Schenker with UFO. Karm & Rome were neighborhood friends who had a common inspiration & goal to play and write heavy rock music.
Once upon a long time ago as one morning Karm was walking to school discovered an electric guitar (Harmony Stratotone) tossed in the trash in front of a house ready for the disposal truck pickup. Karm excited as seeing it, grabbed it and went straight to Rome's house. Karm figured out how to wire it into the family record player and used that as an amplifier.....

Blackkout: Ignorance Of Man+7"Order now! From 31/5/10 in stores!
Limited Edition 1000 Handnumbered CDs
Florida's strong technical power metal presents âIgnorance Of Manâ LP-tape first time on CD plus rare 2-song 7â vinyl EP. Running time about 77â mins! All full digital remaster, lyrics and unpublished pics. Incredible cover artwork from Uwe Jarling! For all Oliver Magnum, Realm, Savatage, Toxik fans!
Blackkout started at St. Petersburg, Florida in 1984 and with the first line-up (Richard W. Elliott IV: Vocals, Lead and Rhythm Guitar, Gale P. Morse: Rhythm Guitar, Triad: Bass, Jeff Patton: Drums) released a 7â vinyl EP with the songs Black & Blue/Fallout. This came out in 1000 copies without cover and today someone can find it in a very high price!
After some changes in the line-up there are three members (Richard Elliott IV: Vocals, guitar, flute, bagpipes, Jeffery Klaus: Drums, Triad: Bass) who enter in Graveyard Studio, St. Petersburg, Florida from October 1988 till February 1989 to record the amazing and for that time pioneer âIgnorance Of Manâ with 17 songs of 70âmins duration. Their âin your faceâ strong power style, together with their technique and the addition of the violin and flute made them be one of the most odd and promising bands in many mags of that era. They were also nominated as the âBest Metal Bandâ (beating Savatage and Iced Earth) at 1990 Tampa Bay Music Awards. That album was pressed only in tape and in 1000 copies, so today is considered to be precious for many collectors want lists as it is very rare!
After the âIgnorance Of Manâ release they change once again the line-up (Richard Elliott IV: Vocals, guitar, flute, bagpipes, Jerry Outlaw: Vocals, lead guitar, Darren McFarland: Bass, Lee Gibson: Drums) and in 1990 the band records another 3-songs demo that unfortunately never saw the light. Although the split-up came, the leader Richard Elliot IV together with Blackkout bass Darren McFarland formed the also pioneer band The Last Things that in1993 released the real good âCircles and Butterfliesâ.
