“Roxx Records has teamed up with UK Christian rockers STAIRWAY to release the definitive and very special 30th Anniversary edition of ‘No Rest:No Mercy’. STAIRWAY was founded in October 1978 at the beginning of the NWOBHM era and has released six full-length albums to date. The band was signed in 1990 by Kingsway Music as part of the 1991 White Metal Records compilation CD ‘White Metal Warriors’ and recorded two tracks, ‘Anybody There’ and ‘Walk Away’ exclusively for that album. The band’s debut album for Kingsway Music on the Edge Records label, ‘No Rest: No Mercy’, would be released in 1993 and produced by Paul Hodson (Hard Rain/Bob Catley), hailed the band’s international popularity and saw its debut chart entry in the Japanese Import Charts at #48. This is the album that started it all for Stairway and is still in high demand today. Which led to the only repressing up to this point in 2005 when Retroactive Records would re-issue ‘No Rest: No Mercy’ as a Limited Edition CD including the bonus track ‘Anybody There?’ which was originally released on the ‘White Metal Warriors’ compilation. This pressing was released in 2005 and has also been long out-of-print and difficult to find. This year marks the 30th Anniversary of this classic release and Roxx Records is going to celebrate this significant piece of Christian metal history with Stairway by remastering and re-issuing ‘No Rest: No Mercy – 30th Anniversary Edition (1993-2023)’ expanded to become the definitive edition of this classic release. In addition to that the Limited Edition CD version will include both ‘White Metal Warriors’ tracks, ‘Anyboby There?’ and ‘Walk Away’ plus 3 previously unreleased live tracks.” -Roxx Records
