Classic death/thrash band Deceased reissues on Transcending Obscurity




From Transcending Obscurity:

"Excellent US site Invisible Oranges has conducted an in-depth and passionate interview with Deceased pertaining to the recent slew of reissues coming out on Transcending Obscurity Classics. Fowley got personal and poured his heart out in the interview which can be read HERE.

"until it’s right you can’t do it. That’s the secret. You can’t just throw shit together and call it a fucking record."

The interview accompanies an exclusive full stream of the album 'Fearless Undead Deceased' that's scheduled to come out on June 10th.


Deceased (US) - 'Fearless Undead Machines' (2016)

Genre - Death/Thrash Metal
Release Date - June 10th, 2016
Record Label - Transcending Obscurity Classics (international sub-label)


'Fearless Undead Machines' is one of the landmark albums in the thrash/death metal style. While the first two Deceased albums were great, this one just took the band to another level altogether. The surreal zombie concept was phenomenally well done and executed; each of the songs reek of that dread and pensive heart-throbbing atmosphere. The solos continue to be incredibly memorable and inspiring, the vocals shudder with that rare horror-themed conviction, the drumming remains brisk and vibrant throughout, while the guitarists paint a thrilling image of the post-apocalyptic zombie-infested world with some of the most sublime riffs any metalhead will ever hear. Few albums have come close to the ambitious storytelling skills and majesty of this one. Even fewer sound as fresh and exciting a couple of decades later. This is a veritable classic.

The original artwork and sound have been retained on this official reissue authorized by King Fowley, and contains special liner notes and pictures that weren't present in the first pressing. Experience an unforgettable classic in its original glory all over again.

This is the second release on the new sub-label, Transcending Obscurity Classics, after Greek death/crust metal band Abyssus' release 'Once Entombed' released recently this year.
