DEATH - Spiritual Healing Reissue "Finished"
August 20, 2012, 12 years ago
Following the classic expanded reissues of Human, Individual Thought Patterns and The Sound Of Perseverance, former DEATH manager and executor of Chuck Shuldiner's estate, Eric Greif has issued the following update regarding the reissue of 1990's Spiritual Healing:
"I am very happy to report here at EW that we’re now finished the Spiritual Healing reissue! It has been a great deal of work getting it all together, including finding the right material to use as bonus tracks. Terry (Butler) and James (Murphy) did some killer liner notes, as did VOLBEAT’s Michael Schøn Poulsen (from the fan perspective) and Beth Schuldiner (from the Chuck’s sister perspective). That is about all I’ll leak about the project other than to say it sounds God.
Spiritual means a lot to me on a personal level and the reason that it has taken so long is that I didn’t want it to be reissued after so many years being out of print until it was as perfect as we could possibly get it. Honorable mention must go to Jay Speis and Drew Juergens from Relapse Records, probably the two hardest working men in extreme metal show business! I am not exactly sure what the release date is – it depends on how quickly we can get things organized - but I’m hopeful for late November of this year. And, before I close, I’d like to again encourage everyone to visit Sweetrelief.org and contribute something in Chucky’s name to their Musicians Cancer Fund - every little bit of money helps."
