Watch: LEFT TO DIE Dedicates 'Zombie Ritual' To CHUCK SCHULDINER, Other Late DEATH Members And SHAUN GLASS At Kraków Concert

The YouTube channel of the Considered Dead blog has uploaded video of LEFT TO DIE's August 4 concert at Zaścianek in Kraków, Poland. Check out the clips below.

LEFT TO DIE is the band featuring classic DEATH members Terry Butler (also formerly of MASSACRE and currently in OBITUARY) and Frederick "Rick Rozz" DeLillo (ex-MASSACRE) paired with GRUESOME founders Matt Harvey (EXHUMED) and Gus Rios (ex-MALEVOLENT CREATION).

LEFT TO DIE performs most of the songs from DEATH's classic "Leprosy" album, along with cuts from DEATH's debut LP, "Scream Bloody Gore".

Butler was unable to make the first five shows of LEFT TO DIE's summer 2026 European tour and was temporarily replaced by Jörgen Sandström of GRAVE and ENTOMBED fame.

Before launching into the final song of the regular set, "Zombie Ritual", at the Kraków concert, Harvey told the crowd:  "This next one is our last one for the evening, and it's for [late DEATH mastermind] Chuck [Schuldiner] and it's for [late DEATH drummer] Sean Reinert, it's for [Chicago metal legend] Shaun Glass, it's for [late DEATH bassist] Scott Clendenin, and all those who didn't make it here with us tonight, man. Check it out."

Schuldiner died on December 13, 2001 after a battle with pontine glioma, a rare type of brain tumor. He was only 34 years old.

Reinert was found unresponsive at his California home on January 24, 2020. He was only 48 years old.

Glass, who has played with a number of acclaimed metal bands over the past four decades, including SOIL, BROKEN HOPE, SINDROME, TERMINAL DEATH, DIRGE WITHIN, THE BLOODLINE and, more recently, REPENTANCE, passed away on July 1, 2026, a month after suffering a stroke at his Illinois home that he shared with his wife Michelle and their 13-year-old son Maddux.

Clendenin died in March 2015 at the age of 47. He had battled various health issues in the few years prior to his passing.

LEFT TO DIE released its debut full-length album, "Initium Mortis", on July 17 via Relapse Records.

"Initium Mortis" pays homage to the brutal beginnings of DEATH with newly recorded versions of songs from the band's early catalog, including cuts from DEATH mastermind Chuck Schuldiner's pre-DEATH band MANTAS, which also featured Rozz and vocalist/drummer Kam Lee.

Founded in 1984 by Chuck Schuldiner under the original name of MANTAS in Altamonte Springs, Florida, DEATH was among the more widely known early pioneers of the death metal sound, along with California's POSSESSED. Inspired by NASTY SAVAGE, DEATH was among the first bands in the Florida death metal scene. In the late '80s, the band was both a part of and integral in defining the death metal scene which gained international recognition with the release of albums by a number of area acts.

"Born Human: The Life And Music Of Death's Chuck Schuldiner", the fully authorized biography of the legendary DEATH frontman, was released in November 2025 via Decibel Books.

Gehlke ("The Scott Burns Sessions: A Life In Death Metal 1987-1997", "Turned Inside Out: The Official Story Of Obituary"),features exclusive interviews, contributions, stunning new Ed Repka cover art and previously unreleased, hand-selected photographs from those who knew Chuck best.
