BLESSED DEATH Albums To Be Released On CD

July 9, 2007

Metal Mind Productions will release the first two albums from BLESSED DEATH on CD. "Kill or be Killed" and "Destined for Extinction" will each be made available in a new digipack edition on golden disc, digitally remastered using 24-bit technology and limited to a hand-numbered 2,000 copies. Both titles will be released on August 6 in Europe and September in the U.S. (via MVD).

To this day, BLESSED DEATH remains one of the most interesting and respectable metal bands of the whole '80s thrash scene. In their times, they easily proved that, next to TESTAMENT, SLAYER and KREATOR, there was still room for originality in complex speed/thrash combinations. "Kill Or Be Killed" was one of the most thrilling debuts in the thrash history of the '80s. The release was a testimony of the band's supreme thrash abilities: fast riffs, angry drums and the piercing vocals of Larry Portelli, whose insane screams and melodic singing blended into a truly hypnotizing combination. "Destined for Extinction", more complex and intense than the debut, introduced nine destructive tracks, all exposing sheer brilliancy in composing technical speed/thrash. For the band, this was a definite step forward towards excellence — far better production and more aggressive sound made this album into a masterpiece.
