The legendary “Death Is Just The Beginning“-Compilation is back!

The legendary compilation “Death Is Just The Beginning“ is back! But there‘s more, a fantastic live package including KATAKLYSM, HYPOCRISY and THE SPIRIT will also hit the road under that banner. Of course all three bands will also be present in this amazing collection. Canadian Death Metallers KATAKLYSM are going to participate with a re-recording of their classic track “The Awakener“. HYPOCRISY offer up a cover version of “They Lie“ (The Exploited) and THE SPIRIT will be providing a track from their NUCLEAR BLAST label debut “Sounds From The Vortex“.

Even more highlights can be expected from this release, besides current songs from the likes of BLEEDING GODS, BRUJERIA, CARCASS, PARADISE LOST and THY ART IS MURDER, “Death Is Just The Beginning“ also has lots of rarities to offer. BENEDICTION, MEMORIAM and POSSESSED will certainly destroy your neck muscles with some special demo versions. A couple of Nuclear Blast‘s new signings will also be making an appearance; Dutch Death/Thrashers BLEEDING GODS, Germany's most interesting dark Melodic Death Metallers NAILED TO OBSCURITY as well as US Progressive/Extreme metallers AENIMUS. Furthermore, the superstar quintet INSIDIOUS DISEASE is back for the first time since 2010 after some line-up changes – and they are back stronger than ever before!

Lovers of cover versions can also get excited. IMMOLATION covers “Morbid Visions“ by Sepultura, joined by no one else than Max Cavalera, and DECAPITATED let you hear their interpretation of MESHUGGAH's “Sane“.

There are no excuses - the "Death Is Just The Beginning" series is impossible to beat. MMXVIII contains some high-class acts and fantastic newcomers, hoping to win over even more fans to Nuclear Blast‘s stylistically varied range. Don't miss it, there is a lot to discover!
