Free Music Notes for Slowly We Rot
Free Music Review: Definitive death metal album!.
Hit: 5 Stars
This is truly one of the best death metal releases of all time! there is no doubt about it, Obituary is one of my favorite death metal groups of all time. There are a few defining death metal bands...Possessed, Death, Malevolent Creation, Celtic Frost, Hypocrisy, Cannibal Corpse etc. and I believe that this cd and band goes along with those names. The music of Obituary is truly from the depths of hell, with John Tardy's distinctive scream/growl vocals, obituary has made a name for themselves. the guitars and drums on this record are also amazing (a lot of double bass with the drums!...check out the start of the title track). Slowly We Rot by Obituary is still every bit as relevant, not to mention gut wrenchingly ferocious, today as it was on the day of it's release back in 1989.
From the first eerie moments of "Internal Bleeding" transcending to a thrash laden riff with the slightest dash of sludge, it is immediately clear we are in for something special. Not only a great song but a perfect album opener. Tardy delivers a truly punishing performance with his clearly distinguishable voice, growling like a wounded beast, he pummels each and every listener into the sudden awareness that something colossal is taking place. From this moment on Obituary never let up on the intensity and aggression. By the time third track "'Til Death" kicks in the album is in full swing. Malicious riffing from Trevor Peres and Allen West, crushing drumming and Tardy dominating on vocals with his trademark growls. Right through the sludgy title track to the lightning fast "Gates To Hell" which is arguably the best Obituary song ever, every track here offers something new to the fray. Adding more and more fire power to the band's already impressive arsenal. The manner in which these men display their skill, with perpetual confidence and blinding force, not to mention the quality of music that develop from this.
Slowly We Rot is an unrelenting album that simply desecrates everything that stands in its path. An album that would ultimately propel Obituary to legendary status. An album that truly set the standard in terms of quality, belligerence and raw power for every extreme metal release that was to follow. Obituary remain one of the most original death metal bands in style. An undisputed seminal masterpiece and an essential for all who appreciate the genre. Perhaps the sound quality isn't quite up to their later records (this was apparently the first record where the now legendary Scott Burns ever produced) but the downtuned guitars are still shockingly heavy for the time. Obituary probably peaked with their 2nd album `Cause Of Death', but their debut remains an essential buy for all death metal fans. I'm sure if Satan got to pick 5 cds made by humans, this would be the one he would pick ;-).
