DEATH

Release Year: 2021
Artist Origin: USA
Style: expressive intricate technical death metal

the undeniable Masterpiece of charismatic fundamental Floridian death metal, the trademark full-length [1990] of the entire epoch, comparing to extreme beginnings, focuses more on technical side of lethal sound, emphasizing complex tempo changes and masterful leads, but not losing the grip on the essence of ferocious music, while lyrics deal with such varied topics as death penalty, human cloning, and vigilant justice, sporting such timeless anthems as Living Monstrosity, Defensive Personalities or the sublime title track; it was the record to introduce James Murphy [Obituary, Cancer, Testament] on second guitar, remarkably adding in variation and advantages of dual axe attack; recent deluxe re-issue on a custom blue mixed with butterfly wings-shaped white splatter wax comes with a remixed and remastered sound, as well as four page LP sleeve sized booklet, featuring loads of vintage photos plus essential liner notes by Terry Butler, James Murphy and Michael Poulsen
