The band's official channels released the below today about the 20th anniversary release for The Great Southern Trendkill. Looks like the album will be re-released with a bonus disc of outtakes, remixes, instrumentals etc. The bonus disc is also getting released as a standalone LP.

 

Anyone who's heard the bootleg of their gig at Dynamo in Holland in 1998 should be excited for the live bonus tracks as they're taken from that gig. Phil was completely wasted that night and it's hilarious:
 

 

"We know you have been waiting (not so) patiently for this! The Great Southern Trendkill: 20th Anniversary Edition will be released on October 21, 2016. This two-disc set includes the original album remastered, plus a dozen previously unreleased mixes, instrumentals, and live recordings. (Preorder now: smarturl.it/trendkill20)

 

Also being released on October 21, 2016, is a single LP titled THE GREAT SOUTHERN OUTTAKES featuring 10 of the unreleased tracks. (Preorder now: smarturl.it/gsouttakes)

 

More details on previously unreleased material:


The companion disc that accompanies the original album features an unreleased version of every album track, including two versions of “Suicide Note Pt. 1” – a rough mix of the track, along with a separate version of the introduction, which spotlights Dimebag on 12-string acoustic guitar. The second disc also features a newly remixed version of the title track, rough mixes for “Drag The Waters” and “The Underground In America”, as well as instrumental takes for “13 Steps To Nowhere” and “Living Through Me (Hell’s Wrath)”. In addition to the studio recordings, the anniversary collection features three live tracks recorded at the Dynamo Festival in Holland in 1998: “War Nerve”, “Suicide Note Pt. II” and “Sandblasted Skin”."

There's a comment on this release on Discogs that suggests the Floods outro was added very late in the recording process, so that perhaps the original tape is lost and they don't want to do a half-assed remaster (that's speculation, of course). While that could explain that, I've read other comments about fade-outs and unnecessary gaps between tracks, which are just inexcusable.
