Greek death/thrash powerhouse Cremate have unleashed a new video for their track “Die As You Lived”. The song is the second single taken from their comeback EP Ready To Fight, which is out now via Wormholedeath.
“Die As You Lived” is described as a declaration of death without redemption, rejecting illusion and falsehood with unwavering intensity. The track features a special guest appearance from Charalampos Paritsis (aka Lusty Apricot), whose haunting violin contribution adds a distinctive layer to the band’s aggressive sound. It stands as a violent, honest farewell to those who lived without purpose, urging listeners to confront the lies they have built their lives upon.
Cremate originally formed in Alimos, Athens in 1991, drawing influence from titans of the genre such as Kreator and Sodom. After releasing their 1993 demo End of Time and the 1995 EP Enchanting Black Recess, the band disbanded. They returned in 2021 with founder Christos joined by drummer George and guitarist Akis Pastras, aiming to revisit their seminal material with a modern production lens.
The new EP Ready To Fight features four tracks, including three reworked classics and the brand new title track which features a guest solo from Nightrage’s Marios Iliopoulos. The release was recorded and mixed by Akis Pastras and mastered by George Nerantzis (Rotting Christ, Abbath).
