Rare and Deadly opens a decade-long vault of raw, chaotic recordings from A Place To Bury Strangers, spanning 2015–2025. Drawn from Oliver Ackermann’s personal archive of demos, B-sides, and abandoned experiments, the collection captures the band at their most unfiltered—riffs warped by malfunctioning pedals, feedback overwhelming delicate melodies, and ideas teetering between brilliance and collapse. Some tracks foreshadow future albums; others remain volatile dead ends. Together, they form a secret history, a documentary of sound in motion, revealing the tension between control and chaos that defines the band.
