Fate was a collection of songs from the first four Death albums controlled by Relativity Records, subsequently purchased by Sony Music Entertainment, and licensed by them to Century Media in Germany. The label used the impending lapse in the contract to release the album; other bands on the label also had compilation albums issued, including Exodus, Forbidden, Dark Angel and Possessed.[2]
The album was set to be re-released by Relapse Records in October 2023.[3]
