⋘Stemming from the full length album by Burnt Church "EMBRACING THE VOID", which was self-released by the band on March 12, 2012, the song "Death To Death Core" is one of the twelve tracks appearing on the band's debut LP.
The Halifax-based outfit has as of late been playing a number of live shows as both headliner and as an opener for large, international touring bands (note: when the term "large" is used here referring to the bands who BURNT CHURCH have opened up for, we clearly are not referring to the likes of Slayer; rather, more such as Rotten Sound or groups on par with those particular grindcore kings). ⋙
