Experience the groundbreaking debut from death metal legends Obituary with Slowly We Rot. Released in 1989, this album introduced the world to the band’s signature sound: brutal, sludgy, and unrelentingly heavy. As one of the earliest pioneers of the death metal genre, Obituary set the standard for guttural vocals, crushing riffs, and complex, yet punishing rhythms.
Tracks like “Slowly We Rot”, “Chopped in Half”, and “Intoxicated” showcase the band’s mastery of relentless, groove-driven death metal, while the production retains an unmistakably raw, underground feel that gives the album its iconic intensity. John Tardy’s guttural growls and the thunderous rhythm section of Trevor Peres and Donald Tardy create an atmosphere that is dark, oppressive, and utterly captivating.
Slowly We Rot is a milestone in death metal history, setting Obituary apart as one of the genre’s most influential acts. With its aggressive sound, chilling atmosphere, and sheer heaviness, the album remains a must-have for fans of extreme metal and a timeless piece of death metal history.
