Remastered LP on Corpse Blue w/Blood Splatter Vinyl

Like Deicide, Obituary is a hugely influential death metal band out of Tampa, which includes a pair of brothers, drummer Don and vocalist in extremis John Tardy. Originally released in 1989, 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 Slowly We Rot was the first record produced by soon-to-be go-to death metal producer Scott Burns. For its first-ever U.S. vinyl reissue, it’s been remastered for the format, adding two bonus tracks (demo versions of “Find The Arise” and “Like The Dead”), and pressed on corpse blue with blood splatter vinyl to match Rob Mayworth’s incredible album cover illustration.
