FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THANATOS – OFFICIAL LIVE TAPE 1987 RESURRECTED ON CASSETTE VIA CDN RECORDS / GROWL RECORDS

Rotterdam, Netherlands — CDN Records and Growl Records are proud to unleash another essential piece of extreme metal history with the reissue of Thanatos – Official Live Tape 1987 , now available on cassette.

Formed in 1984, Thanatos carved their place in history as the very first death metal band to rise from the Netherlands’ underground. Brutal, raw, and unapologetically aggressive, Thanatos carried the torch for extreme music in Europe long before it became a global movement.

Official Live Tape 1987 captures the band in their primal form—unfiltered, unrelenting, and consumed by the energy of the Rotterdam scene. What began as a rare underground demo now returns for the first time on tape since its initial release, offering both longtime fans and new generations a chance to experience Thanatos at their most ferocious.

“This isn’t just a reissue—it’s a living artifact,” said CDN Records. “You can feel the sweat, the grit, and the chaos of an early European death metal show as Thanatos was just beginning to carve their name into history.”

Available now for only $10.00 CAD through CDN Records, this reissue is a must-have for diehard collectors, tape maniacs, and anyone craving a direct hit of authentic old-school death metal.
