DELUXE VERSION OF WORST CASE SCENARIO ALBUM

Universal Music and Island Records will be re-releasing dEUS’s Worst Case Scenario on December 4th 2009. Originally released in 1994, Worst Case Scenario is considered as a brilliant breakthrough album (300,000 units sold in Europe). It incorporates a wide variety of styles, including pop, folk, free jazz, noise rock and this album made them the most successful (and influential) Belgian rock band ever!

The album will be released in a Deluxe version, consisting of two CD’s and a DVD. The original version of Worst Case Scenario has been re-mastered in London at the Metropolis Studio under supervision of Tom Barman (front man of the band); this is CD1. The second CD includes their first EP Zea (very rare) and a collection of B-sides, unreleased lives tracks and demos.

The DVD is a brand new documentary about the making of the album + Unreleased live performances recorded in 1994 and 1995.
