It will not get more pure old school than this in your lifetime. Left to Die is a band which is committed to the legacy of the genre and the legacy of the band Death will be arriving in Croatia on 22.09.2005, making that fucking Monday actually worth pulling thought.
Left to Die is a not a tribute band; it is a reincarnation brutal genius of Chuck Schuldiner in its purest form. The focus of this tour will be Deaths first album Scream Bloody Gore, one of the hallmarks of the genre and its sound. For us old guys it will be a dream come true, for the younger one it will be important history lesson.
The line-up on itself is very worth mentioning; Rick Rozz, the man who made Death with Kam Lee and Chuck. The two left the band before recording Scream Bloody Gore and made Massacre, and Chris Reifert (Autopsy) came on drums and did an album with Chuck. Terry Butler, one of the most legendary bassists in the genre who made two albums with Chuck, but is also in Obituary, gave years to Six Feet Under, is also coming to visit us.
We also have two returning guests, Gus Rios, who played drums for Malevolent Creation for years, and Matt Harvey, the mastermind behind Exhumed. Scream Bloody Gore is the first death metal album ever. Seven Churches by Possessed was still a bit of a transition between death metal and thrash metal, but this is the first “pure” death metal. 1987.

They haven’t been our guests since 2023, so it’s time to right that wrong. The guys are huge fans of Pestilence, DEATH, Cynic, and technical death metal in general. Vaktal is a young progressive metal band from Zagreb that stands out for its unusual blend of genres and creative philosophy. Their music is inspired by jazz, space, and science fiction, and is often described as cosmic death metal with a touch of thrash. Although they themselves say that they base their music on “ignorance of music theory,” their performance shows an enviable level of creativity and technical skill. The band has been active since 2020, and previously they performed under the name Hazmat. Their musical themes often delve into the vastness of space, into the unknown and abstract, which is also felt in the atmosphere of their performances.
