“Death…Is Just The Beginning“ compilation – new IMMOLATION trailer released
|
The legendary death metal compilation Death…Is Just The Beginning is back! Nuclear Blast’s involvement with death metal harkens back to the late ‘80s and early ‘90s explosion of this heavy and deadly genre. The Death…Is Just The Beginning compilations paved the way to the introduction of many soon to become legendary acts such as Pungent Stench, Dismember, Hypocrisy, Kataklysm. While the scene suffered a bit of stagnation somewhere in the mid-to-late ‘90s, the genre as a whole never went away and Nuclear Blast continued to release quality death metal in the form of bands such as Hypocrisy, Kataklysm, Decapitated, etc.
Nuclear Blast recently announced the unearthing of this legendary series and today, a new trailer with a snippet of IMMOLATION‘s (feat. Max Cavalera) cover of the SEPULTURA classic “Morbid Visions” was released. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/AQTt6zIdxXA
IMMOLATION stated about the compilation:
“We had a great time recording SEPULTURA‘s ‘Morbid Visions’ as it was one of the classic songs we used to cover on stage back in the day when our band first started! So to record this track, and even more amazing to have Max as part of it, was something really special for us!! We are glad to share this with all the fans of extreme music and to be included on this installment with such great bands!”
Highlights for this latest installment include some re-recordings of classic tracks, Nuclear Blast bands performing covers of classic songs from other Nuclear Blast artists, demos and rarities of previously released and unreleased songs, original cover artwork by Blake Armstrong and layout by Marcelo Vasco (SLAYER, HATEBREED, KREATOR).
