The next chapter in
Relapse's
DEATH reissue campaign, the landmark, genre-defining album
"Spiritual Healing", is available for streaming in its entirety using the
SoundCloud player below.
Originally released in 1990,
"Spiritual Healing" marked a new turn in the
DEATH discography, one which ushered in cleaner production, a new level of boundary pushing musicianship and songwriting skills that were previously unimaginable from a metal band.
"Spiritual Healing" sets the standard for riffs, insane time changes and of course mainman
Chuck Schuldiner's masterful guitar solos. Now reissued as a double CD housed in super deluxe packaging featuring brand new liner notes from
DEATH players
James Murphy and
Terry Butler,
Chuck's sister
Beth Schuldiner and
VOLBEAT frontman
Michael Poulsen, Disc 1 features a completely new remaster of the original album and Disc 2 contains 16 previously unreleased rehearsal, outtakes and studio instrumentals.
In addition to the 2-disc edition, limited-edition (2000 machine-numbered copies) triple CD digipak will be available exclusively from
Relapse.com. The third CD features a never-before-released live set recorded in 1990 featuring the
"Spiritual Healing" DEATH lineup. An
iTunes deluxe edition was also released containing five additional previously unreleased pre-
"Human" rehearsal tracks not available on either of the CD versions.
"Spiritual Healing" was released on November 20 in North America and will be made available on November 23 in Benelux, Germany and Finland, and November 26 in the rest of the world.
"Spiritual Healing" follows the recent
Relapse Records reissues of
DEATH classics
"Individual Thought Patterns",
"The Sound of Perseverance",
"Human" and the live collection
"Vivus!" plus
Chuck Schuldiner projects
MANTAS and
CONTROL DENIED. Like those reissues, this collection will contain extensive liner notes from previous members and never-before-seen photos of the band.
