LEFT TO DIE, a band featuring former DEATH members Rick Rozz and Terry Butler, has released a new single, 'Witch Of Hell', from their upcoming debut album, 'Initium Mortis'. The album, set for release on July 17 via Relapse Records, pays homage to the brutal beginnings of DEATH with newly recorded versions of songs from the band's early catalog. The band performs most of the songs from DEATH's classic 'Leprosy' album, along with cuts from DEATH's debut LP, 'Scream Bloody Gore'.
In an interview with BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Rozz discussed the band's formation and the challenges of learning material he hasn't played since 1989. He expressed his honor and pleasure in working with fellow band members Gus Rios, Matt Harvey, and Terry Butler. Rozz also noted the increased fan support for DEATH, particularly the band's early period, and the camaraderie among the band members.
The album 'Initium Mortis' is a must-have for DEATH fans and collectors alike, featuring tracks like 'Archangel', 'Witch Of Hell', and 'Legion Of Doom'. The band's tribute to the seminal band and the camaraderie of the genre's most extreme corner of music is a testament to the enduring legacy of DEATH and the impact of its early pioneers.
