BLACK DEATH: Until We Rock (The Lost Recordings) 3LP
Cleveland, Ohio’s legendary BLACK DEATH is widely hailed as one of the first African American heavy metal bands, and this definitive new triple LP anthology assembles for the first time on vinyl their seminal demos, compilation tracks and only existing live recordings from the classic 1983-1988 era. UNTIL WE ROCK: THE LOST RECORDINGS features their rare 1983 demo, Cleveland Metal compilation tracks, epic live concert jams and previously unheard 1988 rehearsal demo that was intended to be the band’s sophomore record following the acclaimed and highly sought 1984 release on Auburn Records. Three full-length records, more than 100 minutes of music, lovingly restored and mastered for vinyl by Timothy Stollenwerk from the rawest of RAW source material & featuring gatefold liner notes by streetwalkin’ survivor Siki Spacek himself! A crucial underground bridge between the soulful guitar wizardry of Jimi Hendrix and the bold forward-leaning experimentalism characterized by the Afro Punk movement, this expansive collection has been several years in the making. The release date commemorates the precise day that guitarist Vincent Lindsay marched onward in 2018 after a prolonged and brave battle with cancer. UNTIL WE ROCK!
