ABOUT THE ALBUM
In 1993, Die Happy took part in the "Intense Live Series," a set of several bargain-priced EPs commissioned by Intense Records to showcase the live talents of their roster's heavy hitters. (The other four volumes featured Deliverance, Tourniquet, Mortal, and Rose.)
These sessions were recorded "live" in a studio as opposed to at a concert. It gives the fan a priceless insider's view into the band experience. You can tell the members were having fun jamming together, even without the benefit of an audience. The set list contains two tracks from the self-titled debut and two tracks from Volume II. The band has a brilliant take on their classic, "Temple of Soul," which treats fans to an exquisite and must-hear version leading some critics to say the track may be Die Happy's finest recorded moment. Thirty-plus years later, expect this version to still send chills down your spine! Intense Live Series Vol. 4 also featured one brand-new Die Happy original ("Endless Time") and a crunchy cover of the Petra classic "All Over Me" from More Power To Ya! This EP would be Die Happy's final release. At least it was a good way for the band to go out. Featuring an all-star lineup with Greg Chaisson (Badlands), Robyn Kyle Basauri (Joshua/Red Sea/Reign of Glory), Doug Thieme (Vengeance Rising), and Glen Mancaruso (Vengeance Rising) - expect epic riffs that will rattle your roof and shake your foundations. Remastered by Rob Colwell (Deliverance, Believer, Flotsam & Jetsam), the 2024 Retroactive reissue comes with over 30 minutes of music packaged with a 6-panel insert with a jewel case. Limited to just 500 CD world-wide.
