Dying Remains 30th Anniversary CD
A SPECIAL 2CD EDITION OF THE CLASSIC 1993 DEBUT OF BRUTAL US DEATH METAL, MARKING 30 YEARS SINCE RELEASE. INCLUDES MORTA SKULD'S INFLUENTIAL EARLY DEMOS PLUS RARE REHEARSAL TRACKS.
Morta Skuld formed in Milwaukee in 1990, quickly producing two demos before going on to release three albums on Peaceville Records (initially via legendary sub-label Deaf Records) in the early-mid 90's. Many years later, and with a new line-up, founder and mainman David Gregor then reunited with Peaceville for the recent opuses 'Wounds Deeper Than Time', and 'Suffer For Nothing', showing that none of the brutal & inspired magic of the band's former years had been lost.
'Dying Remains' was Morta Skuld's debut, released in 1993 and recorded at Cornerstone Studios. Morta Skuld brought a refreshing blend of heavy and brutal death and doom along with occasionally more atmospheric and melodic elements instead of many straight forward high-octane death metal releases prevalent in the US scene at the time. This was an element which helped to distinguish them from many of their peers, establishing the band and leading to shows with such classic acts as Obituary, Death, Deicide, Napalm Death, Fear Factory, and Cannibal Corpse.
This 30th anniversary edition of 'Dying Remains' includes a bonus disc including the band's classic 1990 demos, 'Gory Departure' and 'Prolong the Agony', plus rare rehearsal tracks from 1991.
