Hollands' oldest death metal band THANATOS is premiering a video from the group's upcoming anniversary album & DVD "Four Decades Of Death", set to celebrate the 40th year of the band's existence on November 15th via Agonia Records. Watch "Global Purification", taken from the DVD, here.
"From beyond the grave we bring you this album with unreleased stuff from the past four decades plus a cool live registration of our last show ever," comments THANATOS's founder, Stephan Gebédi (Hail Of Bullets). "Filmed at the Baroeg Open Air festival in our hometown Rotterdam on September 10th 2022, the band played songs ranging from the early demo days to our final album «Violent Death Rituals» in front of about 8000 people. This is a posthumous celebration of our 40th anniversary. Releasing this rare, unreleased stuff on CD/vinyl and our final show on DVD feels like a great way to end things or, to put it more bluntly, put the last nail in our coffin!"
"Four Decades Of Death" consists of previously unreleased songs and a DVD, which captures, on a multi-cam recording, the band's last live show from 2022. The album will be released in CD, LP (both formats to include the DVD) and digitally. The cover artwork was drawn by Toni Hietomaa.
