San Francisco Bay Area metal veterans
VICIOUS RUMORS will release a new live album,
"Live You To Death", on November 27 (one day earlier internationally) through
SPV/
Steamhammer. The CD was recorded by
Pontus Norgren of
HAMMERFALL, mixed by

2011 was the year
VICIOUS RUMORS stormed European stages with their highly acclaimed studio album,
"Razorback Killers", playing 92 shows in 12 months.
"Live You To Death" was recorded last December on the band's European tour as the support act for Swedish metallers
HAMMERFALL. It features 11 songs, including two very special studio recordings: cover versions of
"Sign Of The Southern Cross" by
BLACK SABBATH and
"Running Wild" by
JUDAS PRIEST.
"We wanted to do a few covers of our metal gods
SABBATH and
PRIEST as a tribute to where it all started,"
Thorpe said.
