Old school Death Metal aficionados have reminded us how relevant the genre still means today in opposition with insanely sophisticated over technical death metal that has kindly poured in the past years. Enthusiastic followers for genuine original death metal have grown in numbers again looking for a bit of fresh air from the coffin !. Undead Prophecies (initially named UNDEAD) was founded by 5 individuals back from the dead with a similar musical vision. They decided to gather reviving forces in order to honor authentic old school Death Metal as initially mastered by bands like POSSESSED, MORBID ANGEL, CELTIC FROST, MASTER, OBITUARY, DEATH...

Those traits are here in abundance on this live concert recording of Etta and her long-time partner Houston Person at the 2000 Tri-C Jazz Festival. Etta's voice remained remarkably consistent throughout her career and she sounds particularly vibrant here on her featured tracks.
