On October 7th, Greyhaze Records will release a vinyl LP reissue of Die Hard – the only official, comprehensive demo collection of Brazilian black/death metal cult act Sarcofago.

 
Beautifully packaged as a double-LP with gatefold jacket, the album will be available on black and limited-edition yellow vinyl, including an over-sized booklet and poster, as well as liner notes by Sarcofago front man Wagner Antichrist. Die Hard includes material that had never before been made available, such as the band’s very first demo recording, as well as material recorded for “Rotting” and “The Laws Of Scourge”. Renowned artist Zbigniew Bielak (Ghost, Watain) created the artwork for a very limited slipcase version of the vinyl reissue. The album can be streamed in its entirety on Bandcamp. Preorders are being taken at Greyhaze Records.

Sarcofago’s influence and legacy in the realm of extreme metal cannot be overstated. Classics like INRI, Rotting, and The Laws Of Scourge have paved the way for a large number of bands spanning various genres such as black and death metal. The band’s demos have been shamelessly bootlegged for decades and demand for an official demo collection has been constant.
