R.U. DEAD? - Completely Dead CD

R. U. Dead? were a cult thrash band from south Germany that were formed in 1989. Prior to RU Dead, guitarist, band leader and main composer Uli Hildenbrand was in Poison, one of the most cult German thrash bands from the mid 80's. If you aren't familiar with Poison, "Into the Abyss" is certainly worth hearing, and provides a lot of context for what Hildenbrand was doing with RU Dead?. The brand of thrash he was after was a lot more elaborate than that of Destruction, Kreator, or Sodom. Much like Poison, RUD never released a full length, and instead graced us with several demos and EPs. This compilation contains tracks from three EPs and three demos spanning their existence. Rest assured, Hildenbrand's unique style that he first developed with Poison keeps following that trajectory in RUDead?!. Completely remastered, incl.: Nothing Will Be Forgiven Cd 95, A Thought Before the Kill Ep 1997, Hypnos EP 1992, Final Session 1998 demo, Live 1996.
