Death Is Just The Beginning - New trailer: "DECAPITATED" about the compilation

The legendary compilation “Death Is Just The Beginning“ is back! But there‘s more! A formidable live package featuring three bands who appear on the collection is due to hit the road under the same name. Canadian Death Metallers KATAKLYSM who have re-recorded their classic track “The Awakener“ for the release, will be joined by HYPOCRISY who have offered up a cover version of “They Lie“ (The Exploited). The package is completed by THE SPIRIT who have provided the title track from their NUCLEAR BLAST debut, “Sounds From The Vortex“.

“Death Is Just The Beginning MMXVIII“ will be released on October 19th, 2018.

NUCLEAR BLAST just released a new trailer on YouTube with a snippet of the MESHUGGAHcover version of "Sane" from DECAPITATED. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/WleXJVCRk0U

The band states about the compilation:

„For me, it is a huge pleasure because covering MESHUGGAH is something special. They are one of my favorite metal bands ever, plus I find it a big challenge. We had very special guests, Jeff Loomis and Jakub Zytecki, and both did epic solos for it. Also to be one the same compilation with some of the best metal acts in the scene, is nothing but a big pleasure. Doing this for Nuclear Blast Records which is not just a label for us bus after years, a friends label, is an honour!”
