Style: gory primordial brutal death metal

historical full-length debut [1990] by intense and extreme death metal stalwarts and forerunners of highly provoking gore lyrics was a bomb-like explosion for all die-hard ferocious metal maniacs, thirsty for yet more brutality, speed and bloody chunks of meat instead of easy digestible music: this groundbreaking eleven tracker, born in Morrisound with Scott Burns producing, features classic early line-up with Owen and Rusay on guitars and Barnes on vocals, offering such top smashers like Mangled or A Skull Full of Maggots resonating wide in a nascent phase of the morbid genre due to its uncompromising attitude, bludgeoning aim for technicality, and addictive macabre grooves, announcing a new era of ultimate torture and endless pain; German three panel digipak edition comes with vintage images and extensive liner notes by guitarist Jack Owen in the booklet, as well as live bonus of Born in a Casket in audio and video versions, recorded already with George Corpsegrinder in 2000
