DEATH: 'Vivus!' Cover Artwork Unveiled

Looks like both live albums from 1998 are being rereleased together in an album they are calling "Vivus!"

The next chapter in Relapse's DEATH reissue campaign is "Vivus!", a deluxe two-CD collection compiling two separate DEATH concerts, both of which were recorded in 1998. Disc One features the band at the height of its prowess, tearing the roof off the infamous Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, California, while Disc Two is a brilliant recording of the band on the festival stage at Dynamo Open Air in Eindhoven, Holland.

"Vivus!" will be made available on February 28 in North America, March 2 in the Benelux and Germany, and March 5 in the rest of Europe.

"Vivus!" follows the recent Relapse Records reissues of "Individual Though Patterns", "The Sound Of Perseverance" and "Human". Like those reissues, this collection will contain extensive liner notes from DEATH insiders and never-before-seen photos of the band.

too many of the same songs on both discs.

Yeah, I think you'd be better off just getting Live in L.A. by itself. I've heard Einhoven, and the performance isn't as tight. (I haven't heard it in a while, though.)

These CDs were already released as stand alone discs, so this is just a repackaging/reissue. Bummer. Was hoping for some unreleased live material.

Same tour, so it's understandable.

maybe so, but not something i'd buy.
