Embalmer Records is proud to announce its first release – the 1993 demo Buried Alive by Know Death. Buried Alive is out right now and you can stream the first single “Judgment Day” here on Bandcamp and all streaming services. Digital pre-orders for Buried Alive are available here.
The reissue consists of all four songs from the original demo plus an unreleased show named Pick Your Knows from 1992. The concept for Pick Your Knows was simple enough – Know Death played all their songs, and the crowd in turn would vote on the songs they wanted to see get recorded for the demo. Hence the name of the show, Pick Your Knows.
“I would like to say that we are very excited that our music will be out to a larger and more accessible audience,” said Burgan. “It’s satisfying to know that it can hopefully achieve what we strived for back then, and can still be enjoyed by others in today’s world.”
Added Prewitt: “Though I am still making new metal music, Know Death was a very special time for me. Great friends and great players! I just wish Doug was there to see this. I hope people will like what we did.”
The original Buried Alive demo was recorded, mixed, and produced at Sabella Recording Studios in Roslyn Heights, NY by Know Death, Jim Sabella, and Ken Gioia. The demo was also engineered by Know Death, Sabella, and Gioia. This reissue features newly-remastered audio by Esben Willems of Studio Berserk in Gothenburg, Sweden, and a new layout by Joseph Spiller.
