Thanatos - the first extreme metal band to emerge from the Netherlands and one of the oldest death metal bands in the world (dating back to 1984) - celebrates its 40th year of existence with a post-mortem anniversary album, "Four Decades Of Death". The album consists of previously unreleased songs and a bonus DVD, which captures, on a multi-cam recording, the band's last live show from 2022. Masterminded by no other than axman & vocalist Stephan Gebédi of Hail Of Bullets fame, "Four Decades Of Death" is the proverbial nail to the coffin of these long-running Dutch masters.
