Atlanta (GA) - Deep from the vaults, Boris Records and Deanwell Global Music are proud to announce the September 6 vinyl and digital release of Surrender to Death: A History of the Atlanta Metal Underground Vol. 1, a retrospective of the Atlanta metal underground from 1982 to 1999!
Spanning two decades of local bands, studio projects, and touring heavyweights, Surrender to Death showcases over 20 bands, ranging from the early days of traditional heavy metal to gory basement death metal to second-wave black metal. Far from the better-known scenes in the Bay Area and New York and Florida, the Atlanta scene was comprised of musicians dedicated to the most despised genre of music, exploring subgenres and following their art wherever it took them. Strap in and prepare yourself for a night of fierce metallic sounds born in sweaty nightclubs, packed house parties, and DIY warehouse shows.
Over half a decade in the making, Surrender to Death features original recordings sourced directly from the bands. Scheduled for release September 6 on double-vinyl with a gatefold jacket, the packaging also includes an 11x17 double-sided insert containing bios and photos of each band, a sticker, random repro band flyers, and an 18x24 full color poster. Available now for preorder in four different color options.
