CREMATE returns with their 2nd single!
Get ready for unrelenting thrash/death fury and unforgiving intensity

Greek Death/Thrash Metal powerhouse CREMATE has returned with their fierce new official video, "Die As You Lived." This track is a high-octane, unforgiving assault of pure thrash and death metal fury, cementing the band's position as a titan of the Greek metal scene.

"Die As You Lived" is a declaration of death without redemption. It stands as a defiant call for absolute accountability, rejecting illusion and falsehood with unwavering intensity. The track delivers an uncompromising message, confronting the past, calling out hypocrisy, and demanding truth over deception.

Delivered through relentless, pounding thrash riffs and a driving, almost ritualistic rhythm, the single explores profound existential and social undertones. It is a violent, honest farewell to those who lived—and will die—without purpose, urging the listener to confront the lies they have built their lives upon.

Adding a distinctive, haunting layer of darkness to the metallic assault is special guest Charalampos Paritsis AKA Lusty Apricot, whose chilling violin contribution drags the entire track deeper into its thematic abyss.

"Die As You Lived" is featured on CREMATE’s latest EP, Ready To Fight.

Greek Death/Thrash metal band CREMATE was originally formed in Alimos, Athens, in 1991, establishing a raw, aggressive sound influenced by titans like Kreator and Sodom. Their 1993 demo End of Time earned international acclaim, followed by the 1995 7" EP Enchanting Black Recess, before the band disbanded.

In 2021, founder Christos reignited CREMATE alongside George (Drums) and longtime collaborator Akis Pastras (Guitar). The band revisited their seminal demo, re-envisioning the 90s Death/Thrash fury by infusing dark synthesized atmospheres and new arrangements under a contemporary production lens.

The resulting 4-track EP, Ready To Fight, embodies this powerful rebirth. It features three reworked classics—including "Die as You Lived" enhanced by haunting violin from Lusty Apricot—and the brand-new title track showcasing a solo from Marios Iliopoulos (Nightrage). Recorded and mixed by Akis Pastras and mastered by George Nerantzis (Rotting Christ, Abbath), the EP delivers an uncompromising, dynamic fusion of vintage aggression and modern dark textures.
