Death

A metal trio way ahead of its time when it sprang up in Detroit during the early ’70s, Death rose to rock icon status in the following decade. The band split over ten years ago, and even in their time, they went through a variety different members. But Death has returned in recent years to achieve widespread renown for its vintage work—and, impressively, has forged ahead with fresh material meant for a forthcoming album. They're headed to the Roxy this summer, where you can expect an array of pickings from their seven-album-strong back catalogue.
