When the self-titled debut album from female Ukrainian punk trio Death Pill, came out on the 24th of February (a year to the day that Putin invaded Ukraine) the reaction was unanimous.

'Death Pill have made one of the best crossover albums of the modern era' - Metal Hammer // 'Death Pill are intensely furious.

There is nothing on the Ukrainian trio's debut that isn't seething with anger or delivered with boiling vitriol.' - Kerrang // 'A tirade of metalcore, thrash and hardcore, it's a face-toasting listen' - The Guardian // 'This eponymous album is a real masterstroke and a sign not only that DEATH PILL are here to stay but that they are going to take a few scalps with them' - Distorted Sound // Those lucky enough to witness Death Pill live on their recent Euro tour, would have also clocked something a bit special.

Mariana Navrotska, vocals/guitar, Anastasiia Khomenko, drums and Natalya Syeryakova, bass are without doubt a 'force majeure'.

Thunderous thrash infused hardcore coupled with fantastic musicianship and attitude in spades.

A truly thrilling live embodiment of their self-titled debut. So, with the vinyl and cd sold out, a repress of said debut was warranted.

But this is not just a repress. This is that cracking debut _ with a difference. The band explain _.

"In the original first pressing of the Death Pill album, there were 2 Russian-language lyrics songs, which the band recorded before the full-scale invasion of Russia into the territory of Ukraine, and the band didn't have the opportunity to change these lyrics before the release of the album in 2023.

From February 2022, the band performs its program only in English: - "We deleted from the story those lines that were written in Russian, and we no longer want to have them in our work.

We wanted to change this even before the first release, but it was impossible due to a huge number of factors.

During the Euro/UK tour in 2023, the girls had the opportunity to re-record the vocals for these 2 tracks in English.

That is why in the second press of the first album we automatically have the release of two tracks." So, not a repress, but a 2nd edition, with all the fire and vitriol still intact, now the official version of the album from this point on.

Plus, there will be some more Death Pill action later this year and the band will be hitting the road in 2024.
