The Reptilians release full catalog for free download at The Pirate Bay

Idaho-based progressive, apple-core, post-metallers The Reptilians have just released two full length albums, "Welcome to Dugway!", and "XAPPLEXCOREX", for free download courtesy of their label, Spacnum Records.

Rather than releasing the albums in the traditional print and package medium, the band has decided to release the albums via the infamous bittorrent website, The Pirate Bay.

The Pirate Bay has made headlines for years due to legal battles involving the distribution of copyrighted material. Though many view bittorrent downloading as controversial, Victor Wilt explained the band's support of the technology.

"If you browse various news sources on the internet regarding bittorrent technology, all that seems to be discussed are the negative aspects. Yes, many artists are currently suffering due to their material being distributed without their authorization. However, bittorrent is currently utilized by milliions of users every day, with many people discovering music they'd otherwise never have had a chance to hear. We've had hundreds of people download the albums already, from countries all over the globe. I think that the exposure possibilities granted to musicians through file sharing are endless." Wilt said.

"Welcome to Dugway!" chronicles the history of The Reptilians from their beginnings as a side-project to the legendary extreme metal band Dr. Seuss is Dead, to their present day status as one of the most revered acts in experimental metal. Over two hours in length, the album features twenty tracks, including two live cuts and one improvisational track recorded at Victor Wilt's Tin Shack. Also included with the download are complete art packages for both discs.

Guitarist/vocalist Bob Anderson commented: "We've been working on our full length studio album for over a year now, and it's an ever-evolving process. We've never wanted to release anything other than what we'd consider to be an epic masterpiece, and unfortunately for the fans this perfectionism has resulted in a much longer delay than we could ever have imagined when the writing and arrangement began. There has been constant demand from the fans for an album for some time now, and over the years we've compiled tons of both demo and live tracks, so I figured why not just give it all away for free? I ran the idea past Steve and Josh, as well as some other friends who had heard the material, and all agreed that we could put together a package that would be very enjoyable to our fans."

Five tracks from the album, as well as the artwork are currently available for listening and viewing at the band's MySpace page, www.myspace.com/reptilians.
