THANATOS: 'Sincere Chainsaw Salvation' Remix Posted Online

November 9, 2006

Long-running Dutch death/thrash metal band THANATOS have posted the following message on their official web site:

"We have uploaded the track 'Sincere Chainsaw Salvation' from the 2006 remix version of the 'Angelic Encounters' album (originally released in 2000) on our MySpace page. The album will be released as part of a box set to be released later this year on Chinese label Area Death Productions.

"In other news, THANATOS will appear on a death metal festival in Naples, Italy next summer, together with bands like DISMEMBER, ABORTED and SINISTER."

As previously reported, THANATOS drummer Yuri Rinkel (Xul) is a permanent member of the Mesopotamian metal band MELECHESH, while bass player Marco de Bruin is helping out during their live shows. Guitarist/vocalist Stephan Gebédi has joined the reformed Dutch thrash pioneers SECOND HELL for vocal duties. SECOND HELL's present lineup also includes former THANATOS guitarists Mark Staffhorst and Erwin de Brouwer.

THANATOS recently suspended the recording sessions for its fifth full-length album, "Justified Genocide", at Excess studios in Rotterdam, Holland after the group's record label, Greece's Black Lotus Records, announced that it was closing its doors. Three songs from earlier sessions are currently being used as a promo CD to generate interest from new labels. One of the new songs, a rough mix of "March of the Infidels", can be heard at www.myspace.com/thanatos666.

THANATOS's new album is scheduled to feature nine or 10 songs, including "They Feed On Fear", "The Devil's Triangle", "March of the Infidels", "Upwards Spritual Evolution" and "The Netherworld". The artwork will be handled by German artist Timo Wuerz.

THANATOS' fourth CD, "Undead. Unholy. Divine" (2004),was produced by Hans Pieters and the band at Excess and was mastered by Attie Bauw (JUDAS PRIEST, SCORPIONS, GOREFEST).
