THANATOS Streaming Four Decades Of Death Anniversary Album In Full; Audio

Holland's death metal pioneers, Thanatos, are streaming their upcoming anniversary album, Four Decades Of Death, set for release on Friday, November 15, via Agonia Records. Listen to the album in full, below:

Four Decades Of Death celebrates the 40th year of the band's existence with an album of previously unreleased songs and multi-cam DVD recording of the band's last live show. The album will be released in CD, LP (both formats to include the DVD) and digitally. The cover artwork was hand-drawn by Toni Hietomaa.

"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!"
