Indianapolis, Indiana - (Sunday, July 26, 2026) - The wait is over. SERAIAH unleashes “No More Tears To Cry,” the second single and world premiere music video from the long-awaited definitive edition of Carnival World.

Making its long-awaited return through Eonian Records, Carnival World (Definitive Edition) has been meticulously remixed and remastered, complete with an expansive archival presentation featuring stunning new artwork, a deluxe 36-page booklet, and premium packaging on both CD and collectible Blood Moon Red Vinyl housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket.

For drummer and co-founder Kyle Dietz, “No More Tears To Cry” has always been one of my favorite songs on Carnival World. As a drummer, there was something special about performing it live. It’s a power ballad, but it also had built in moments that let the whole band shine. The harmony guitar solo was especially moving and every time we reached that section, you could feel the song take on a life of its own. It was one I always looked forward to playing.”

Formed in Indiana in 1985, SERAIAH quickly established itself as one of Midwest’s most exciting and ambitious metal bands. By the summer of 1988, the group had outgrown the regional club circuit, arriving at the legendary Metal Fest in Decatur, Illinois with a full-scale stage production and a confidence that matched its musicianship. Sharing the stage with Bride, Sacred Warrior, and Vengeance, SERAIAH delivered a breakthrough performance that earned the band a recording contract with Pure Metal Records and firmly established them among the premier rising acts in Christian hard rock and heavy metal.

When Carnival World was originally released in 1990, it displayed a band firing on all cylinders. Blistering guitar work, soaring vocal melodies, arena-sized choruses, and an unapologetic swagger combined into an album that many fans still regard as one of the hidden gems of the era. Frequently compared to the raw energy and infused attack of early Mötley Crüe, SERAIAH blended melody and muscle into a sound that remains every bit as compelling today as it was more than three decades ago.

Now, thirty-six years later, Carnival World returns in its most complete form ever.

The definitive edition has been completely remixed by Jeffrey Gardner of Plus One Audio Services and remastered by Rob Colwell to deliver a bigger, more dynamic listening experience while preserving the spirit and intensity of the original recordings.

The release features striking all-new artwork, a deluxe 36-page booklet containing a one hundred previously unpublished photographs from the band’s personal archives, and an extensive historical essay by acclaimed music historian and friend of Eonian Record’s Arttie Parker. The CD edition also includes six exclusive live soundboard recordings including a blistering solo by Quinton Gibson, highlighted by bassist Tracy Ferrie’s first recorded performance with SERAIAH before his later work with Stryper and Boston.

Fans can explore the band’s earliest years even further with the companion release, DEMOlish This, an archival collection featuring SERAIAH’s earliest demo recordings. Complete with its own deluxe booklet and an abundance of rare photographs, the collection offers an intimate look at the songs, rehearsals, and creative foundation that started the band.

For Stephen Craig, Founder and Partner of Eonian Records and Executive Producer of Carnival World, the project has always been about preserving an important chapter in Christian hard rock & metal history.

“SERAIAH has always been one of those bands that deserved far more recognition than they ever received during their original run. Having known these guys for many years, it has been incredibly rewarding to help preserve and celebrate their legacy. Carnival World captures the band at its youthful prime, while DEMOlish This offers a fascinating look at the band as they started their journey.”

Craig continues:

“Our goal was not simply to reissue an album and some demos - it was to create the definitive historical document of an outstanding band that helped define an era of Christian hard rock & metal. Every remix, remaster, photograph, interview, and page of the booklets was approached with tremendous care and respect for the band’s history. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished together, and I believe longtime fans, as well as those discovering SERAIAH for the first time, are finally going to experience these recordings the way they always deserve to be heard.”

Ryan Northrop, CEO & Partner, Eonian Records, “Releasing Carnival World is one of the defining moments in Eonian Records’ history. SERAIAH wasn’t simply another Christian metal band, they were among the artists who proved that faith and world-class musicianship could stand shoulder to shoulder with anything happening in hard rock and metal during the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Carnival World remains one of the genre’s true masterpieces, and it’s an honor to help preserve that legacy for a new generation of listeners. Our goal was never to just reissue an album, it was to create the definitive archival edition it has always deserved. From the meticulous remixing and remastering to the deluxe packaging and extensive historical booklet, every detail reflects the respect we have for the band and their place in Christian metal history. Albums like Carnival World helped lay the foundation for countless artists who followed, and we’re incredibly proud that Eonian Records can play a small part in ensuring that legacy endures.”

With the release of Carnival World, DEMOlish This, and the debut of the new “No More Tears To Cry” music video, one of the Midwest’s most overlooked metal bands finally receives the definitive retrospective its music has earned.

The celebration of Carnival World will continue well beyond its release. On Friday, August 14, drummer Kyle Dietz and vocalist Brad Beckey will join longtime friend and legendary Sacred Warrior vocalist, Rey Parra, now fronting Worldview, on the Is It Wrong? Podcast for an in-depth conversation about the band’s history, Carnival World, and the remarkable journey behind its long-awaited return. The episode will also feature the exclusive premiere of SERAIAH's third single and video, "Rise Up," a fan favorite that originally climbed to No. 2 with a lengthy stay in the CCM Metal Charts.

Orders are officially open and sales are flying! The definitive editions of Carnival World and DEMOlish This available through Eonian Records and hard rock and heavy metal retailers worldwide. Both the Blood Moon Red Vinyl edition of Carnival World and the CD editions of both releases are strictly limited pressings, and fans are encouraged to secure their copies early while supplies last.
