Left To Die‘s new cover of Mantas‘ “Legion Of Doom” has premiered online below. It’s the third track to emerge from the Death-worshipping supergroup’s forthcoming debut album “Initium Mortis“, which Relapse have scheduled for a July 17th release date. Mantas of course would later go on to be known as influential death metal outfit Death.
Left To Die feature Death vets Terry Butler (Obituary, etc.) and Rick Rozz (ex-Massacre). Rozz himself was also involved in the early Mantas days. Matt Harvey (Exhumed, Gruesome, etc.) and Gus Rios (Gruesome, ex-Malevolent Creation) complete the roster for this tribute group.
Butler said of tackling this track:
“‘Legion Of Doom‘ is heavy as hell. One of the best and earliest knuckle-dragging riffs out there. So heavy in fact, that Death brought the main riff brought back out of retirement for the song ‘Spiritual Healing!'”
