Death SS - In Death of Steve Sylvester (2017 Reissue) (Digipak CD)

Originally released in 1988, ...In Death of Steve Sylvester was quite unlike anything else around at the time. DEATH SS's foundation in 70s BLACK SABBATH and ALICE COOPER was firm, but the way it emerged on their debut album put it into a league of its own. Intense and energetic and yet emitting an atmosphere fully suited to a horror movie, ...In Death of Steve Sylvester had one foot planted in the contemporary speed metal scene and another foot planted in a world seemingly beyond mortal comprehension. It was wild and weird and yet wholly heavy metal, and a stout reminder that unique inspiration breeds unique art. To cap their separation from modernity, the band cover their beloved Alice Cooper's "I Love The Dead" here.
