Extreme metal juggernaut SLAUGHTERSUN present a tribute to CORONER with a cover of "Die By My Hand." While striving to honor the sonic appeal of the original recording, SLAUGHTERSUN have injected elements of their own distinctive character into their interpretation.
"The original recording of Coroner’s 'Die By My Hand' is a relic of it’s time and a prime example of the legendary fidelity produced by Scott Burns at Morrisound in Tampa FL back in the 80’s and 90’s", shares band leader Ben Karas. "In a time before drums were routinely gridded and productions were overly polished, the power trio Coroner proved that metal could be as groovy as it is dark and brutal. Moving the boundaries of recorded music, their virtuosic musicianship and infectious musical pocket solidified their place as an influence to Slaughtersun’s sound.
The technical side of the recording is also of interest as it is part of the roster of bands with Scott Burns’ unique production style. Burns’ goal was to preserve the primal energy of the music but present it in a way where all of the details could be heard. As all of Slaughtersun’s music is self produced and contains unconventional instruments, a similar attempt at innovation is present."
Originally written and performed by CORONER, SLAUGHTERSUN's interpretation of "Die By My Hand" was recorded by sound engineers Ben Karas and Chris Alfano. The track was produced, mixed and mastered by Ben Karas at Frost Gauntlet Recording, Lyndhurst, NJ. Cover artwork for the single is by Slam Slabs.
