Thursday to release retrospective CD/DVD through Victory

New Jersey emotional post-hardcore pioneers Thursday will temporarily return to their former label Victory Records this fall to release a retrospective CD/DVD. The CD will contain three new songs as well as B-sides, rarities and live tracks; the DVD will contain a documentary of the band's past 10 years, as well as music videos, photo galleries and more.

Victory owner Tony Brummel comments:
"Thursday and Victory have done great things together [...] Some people might want to call this a sort of homecoming. I simply see it as a reunion of passionate people that have done great things in the past getting the opportunity to do them again."
This may come as a shock to the band's longtime fans, who might recall a lengthy letter from the band written in 2002 when they first left Victory for Island, saying they were "deceived, bullied and compromised to an unsatisfactory end." In response to that, the band write:
"Many of you know that our parting with Victory was bitter on both sides and we're taking this chance to put that behind us. That label really helped us get to where we are and we helped them to establish themselves as well... "coming full circle" and "making amends" are some of the phrases that we could throw around here but we think you get the picture already."
The currently untitled CD/DVD will be out October 30. The band plan on having a new studio album out next year on an undetermined label.
