On August 25 in Europe and September 2 in the U.S.,
Earache Records reissued
"Scars Of The Crucifix", the classic 2004 album from
DEICIDE, as part of the Earache Classic Series.
"Scars Of The Crucifix" was reissued with a bonus DVD, featuring a never-before-seen live show filmed in Nottingham, UK in 2003.
"Scars Of The Crucifix" was the last
