Spunk Records in association with the Preservation label presents the fourth album from Melbourne's Grand Salvo, Death. In many ways, Death is the most fully realised fruit from the much lauded imagination of the man behind Grand Salvo, Paddy Mann. While previous works revealed the storyteller in Mann, Death is a complete fable of rich proportions. The album was conceived before the release of 2005's The Temporal Wheel on Preservation and slowly borne out over several years. As a result the songs are first class and the instrumentation is stunning. Grand Salvo has been a folk hero for many people around Melbourne for a number of years.

He has opened for other overseas contemporaries like Iron & Wine, Smog and Joanna Newsom and toured with locals Laura Jean and Darren Hanlon.
