OVERKILL bassist D.D. Verni‘s THE BRONX CASKET CO. returns on November 13. On that day, Deko Entertainment will release “The Complete Collection”, a five-disc box set including all four of the band’s studio releases plus unreleased bonus material.
D.D. states: “It’s Halloween and Friday the 13th all within a two-week period…so must be time for a new BRONX CASKET CO. release! “
THE BRONX CASKET CO. was founded by Verni and released the self-titled “Bronx Caset Co.” on Massacre Records in 1999. It was followed up by “Sweet Home Transylvania” in 2001, “Hellectric” in 2005 and “Antihero” in 2011. The band is rounded out by guitarist Jack Frost (SAVATAGE, SEVEN WITCHES, LIZZY BORDEN), keyboardist Charlie Calv (ANGEL, SHOTGUN SYMPHONY), drummer Tim Mallare (OVERKILL, M.O.D.) on the first three releases and Rob Pallota (25 TA LIFE) on the later, and originally fronted by Myke Hideous (MISFITS, EMPIRE HIDEOUS) on the first three albums, with D.D. taking over vocals full time on “Antihero”.
This release is completely re-mastered by Alan Douches (MISFITS, MASTODON) and includes a bonus disc of early demos, unreleased remixes, a cover of MISFITS classic “Ghouls Night Out”, and a brand newly recorded mash up of the classic BLACK SABBATH tracks “The Writ/Megalomania” titled “Sabatage-d”.
D.D. continues: “I’m so psyched to have the whole catalog in one spot. The four records were all so completely different yet part of the same idea, so seeing it all together is very cool. A bonus disc with demos and extra tracks, as well as all kinds of collectibles makes it something really unique.
“It was fun to get back with the guys to bang out the BLACK SABBATH ‘Sabatage-d’ song too. [It] felt almost like we never took a break.
“I get asked all the time if there will ever be another full-length album… Hey, ya never know.”
“The Complete Collection” is limited to 500 copies with 100 being set aside for a special Friday The 13th bundle with some ghoulish merch, and your own personalized death certificate signed by Verni.
