The third and final missile from the vault of Death. 'Death III' slams the door on the vault with a powerful set of songs that bring equal amounts of rock and ethereal soul-searching - in high-fidelity, rich bottomed, studio-grade sound. Alongside songs from 1975, 1976 and 1980, 'Death III' contains two songs from 1992, as the Hackney brothers reconvened nearly a decade after they'd stopped playing together. 'Death III' serves as a companion piece of sorts to the 'A Band Called Death' documentary, tracking the band's movement from spiritual young rockers to older and wiser, bruised-but-unbowed brothers, in pure musical terms.
