Recent Relapse Records signees LEFT TO DIE will unleash their debut full-length, Initium Mortis, on July 17th. Today, the band shares the album’s second single, “Witch Of Hell,” which originates back to some of Death’s earliest live demos!

Comments Terry Butler (Obituary, ex-Death), “‘Witch Of Hell’ is a straight up banger. No frills, old-school death metal at its finest. This is how it’s done and it would be a blueprint for future death/thrash bands!”

Stream “Witch Of Hell” on the Relapse YouTube Channel HERE and on all streaming services HERE.

Stream previously released lead single “Archangel” HERE.

Initium Mortis sees the supergroup – including original Death members Terry Butler (Obituary) and Rick Rozz (Massacre) – joining gore metal pioneer Matt Harvey (Exhumed, Gruesome) and Gus Rios (Gruesome) to capture the morbid depths of Death’s early catalog.

Initium Mortis will be released on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats. Find preorders at Relapse.com HERE.
