Artist Origin: USA
Style: fundamental evil crushing death metal

triumphant third longplay [1992] of a household name in seminal Floridian death metal legacy has changed the world of extreme ferocious music forever with its slower and groovier approach and deadliest voice ever provided by human throat: nine suggestive tracks with instantly recognizable sound introduce a new yet well familiar guitarist Allen West to the fold, who effectively joins the ritual of rotten riffs and bloody solos, bringing along some trademark qualities; reportedly, this breathtaking release is among the top selling death metal albums ever, thanks to some insanely catchy numbers like for example the title track; recent Dutch re-issue comes with a remastered sound, as well as I'm in Pain and Killing Time live bonuses
