Obscura vocalist/guitarist Steffen Kummerer has been revealed as the second vocalist for the upcoming Death tribute run, aptly-titled the “Death To All Tour“. Kummerer had the following to say about the opportunity:
“It was a pleasure to get the invitation to play all of those timeless classics as a tribute to Chuck and his work. To be honest, I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea at all to get this project running, due to my respect for the past. The band Death is gone and will never come back, that is the truth.
These shows are a nice way to show tribute to the band and their previous work and help musicians via Sweet Relief. In the end, a good thing and definitely worth visiting one or two shows. I am glad to be involved and be part of this idea to bring this music back on stage. Let the metal flow.”
The “Death To All Tour” will see various former musicians from Death uniting to perform the bands songs. The trek is intended to celebrate late Death frontman/guitarist Chuck Schuldiner and raise awareness for Sweet Relief.
As previously reported, participating Death-related musicians include:
Guitars – Paul Masvidal (“Human“)
Guitars – Shannon Hamm (“The Sound Of Perseverance“)
