Terry Butler (bass, OBITUARY, INHUMAN CONDITION), Rick Rozz (guitar, ex – MASSACRE), Matt Harvey (vocals / guitar, GRUESOME, EXHUMED) and Gus Rios (drums, ex – MALEVOLENT CREATION) have joined forces in a new band that goes by the name LEFT TO DIE. They are currently writing an EP and planning a summer US tour, performing the classic DEATH “Leprosy” album in its entirety, along with cuts from “Scream Bloody Gore”. Terry Butler commented the LEFT TO DIE origin as follows: “After the recent Chuck Tribute shows that Matt, Gus and myself did, Rick posed the question “Would anyone would want to see some “Leprosy” shows?” With a resounding “yes!” the masses had spoken. Matt and Gus threw their hats in immediately and in my opinion they were the only real choice to bring this thing to life!! LEFT TO DIE coming your way soon!!” Rick Rozz added: “It’s going to be an absolute honor and pleasure to play these 34+ year-old songs on stage with Terry after all these years, along with the talents of Matt and Gus – it’s gonna be brutal!” Matt Harvey reflected: “When Gus and I started GRUESOME as a DEATH tribute, we never thought that it would lead to us playing some of our favorite songs alongside the guys that recorded them, but here we are – and I couldn’t be more stoked!” Gus Rios issued the following additional comments: “When Rick contacted me about his idea I was immediately on board, since “Leprosy” is not only my favorite DEATH album, but my favorite Death Metal album of all time! I’m very grateful and stoked that Terry and Matt were also on board – the Metal will flow this summer!” More LEFT TO DIE info you will find at www.facebook.com/lefttodiedeathmetal
