Spiritual Healing

As tipped here yesterday, Death’s Spiritual Healing will be reissued November 20 on Relapse Records.

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.

A remastered version of the track “Living Monstrosity” can be heard below.

A limited edition triple CD digipak will be available exclusively from Relapse.

The third CD features a never before released live set recorded in 1990 featuring the Spiritual Healing Death line up.

An iTunes deluxe edition will also be released containing five additional previously unreleased pre-Human rehearsal tracks not available on either of the CD versions.
