Obituary - Slowly We Rot LP
NEW. SEALED.
Real Gone Music
Having delved deep into the Deicide catalog, we now turn our fiendish eyes to another hugely influential death metal band out of Tampa (must be something in the water)! We are of course talking about Obituary, who, like Deicide, includes a pair of brothers, drummer Don and vocalist in extremis John Tardy. 1989’s Slowly We Rot is, simply put, probably the most savage debut record ever made; reactions at the time ranged from Ozzy Osbourne’s exclamation that “They’re f**king mad!” to journalist Phil Alexander’s proclamation in the pages of RAW that it was “The type of album that’ll make you froth at the mouth.” Adding to its landmark status is the fact that SWR was the first record produced by soon-to-be go-to death metal producer Scott Burns. For its FIRST-EVER U.S. vinyl reissue, we’ve had it remastered for the format, added two bonus tracks (demo versions of “Find the Arise” and “Like the Dead”), and pressed in corpse blue with blood splatter vinyl to match Rob Mayworth’s incredible album cover illustration. The first in a series of Obituaries to come!
