I was 16 when this was released. These early death metal releases will always have a special place in my heart. Almost all of the bands sounded different from each other & they were creating sounds that hadn't been done yet. I was going to the record stores any time I could, always looking for the next great release. Great times/great memories. This still sounds great to this day.
Facts, my friend. I remember the first time I heard Slowly We Rot (specifically Internal Bleeding), I almost sh@t myself. I remember playing this in our little 15 year old version of a death metal band…
It's my first time listening to them (Obituary), but it's really fraking good and you can totally tell the bands apart! I'll be honest, I do see a certain influence from Sepultura in their songwriting, especially in the rhythm guitar and even if the vocals aren't that much different from other acts such as them, their sound is very unique overall and doesn't feel forced like many of the bands from my generation (23 y/o currently).
Although, there are some good bands, they don't necessarily get the recognition they deserve as it's not what is most profitable... it's a damn shame...
and unfortunately in 30 years, zoomers will feel the same way about the derivative bands being released these days.

True words, keep on rockin in the free world bro
This is an unbelievably heavy album,one of Obituary’s best,John Tardy has the most distinctive voice,really shocked people back in the early 90s,it’s the deathliest voice I have ever heard,brutal as hell. Slowly We Rot is another classic example of Death Metal at its deathliest. Tardy’s vocals have to be heard to be believed.
When I was buying Slowly We Rot I ran into my middle school math teacher at Tower Records. Good memory but sad those days are over.
One of the best death metal albums of all time.
Agreed
If not THE BEST!
@@juanflechin2020 pero es uno de los mejores! 💪💪💪
Obvio, no es Entombed, pero es una buena banda Obituary
I concur dear sir
Agreed!
feeling 15 years old again, discovering Obituary in an age without technology, going to record stores, looking at the covers of the albums, taking the vinyl and putting it on stereo and banging his head and going to record in k7. Now 46 years old, rejuvenated daily with this metal classic.
Same for me i am 46 as well
Time goes fast.
Iam 44 years old now... still feel like 13 ... one of the greatest DM records ... - 1990 -1991 was the best time of DM ; and i was a part of that wave! THANKS TO THE GODS!!!
Gwep! That's awesome..
I am 47 right now. Death comes fast. 🍺❤️❤️❤️
..Mrs Death surrounds us, waiting
One of the best albums ever! Absolute masterpiece!
Ujq
Will never be duplicated. The entire 70s and 80s hard rock, metal, punk and thrash movement made this shit.
Yeah Obituary The End Complete and Cause Of Death great cd's.
As a unbias Death Metal fan I will always prefer Spiritual healing from this year, and Leprosy.
@@jyejye1077 Cause of Death and Spiritual Healing are two of the BEST DEATH METAL ALBUMS OF ALL-TIME!!!! BOTH ARE IN MY TOP 5
Still have the cassette I bought as an 18 year old, now pushing 50 😭
Still sounds as good today.
Hey bro. I'm 49.
Got all the early cassettes
back when they came out.
Then bought the CDs a decade later.
You don't forget what you love. 🤘
@@christopherdaniel5919 Definitely man, same here kept all the cassettes but bought basically all on CD afterwards.
Threw out all my 80s shirts in the early 90s and still regret it seeing the prices they are going for nowadays on Ebay.
🤟🤝🤟
Gray beards....we used to snicker...and here we are. Grandma listened to the Rat Pack...Ma listened to Bob Dylan...I listen to Obituary.
That cassette is going for 70 bucks on average, I been looking for the cassette.
bradaaa! \m/
The album cover first was intended for Sepultura's "Beneath the Remains" album. It's painted by Michael Whelan in the 1970's. The paintings from BTR and "Arise" and Demolition Hammer's "Epidemic of Violence" are also from him, all from the 1970's.
Micheal Whelan is my second. First of course:
Frazetta.
Better get your facts straight bud. Anyone can spout a bunch of names and dates to make anything make sense. Delete this fabricated nonsense at once!
Well back in those days that was way ahead of it's time!
I’m really glad it all turned out the way it did, this definitely fits Obituary more, and the beneath remains cover works much better for that
🇧🇷🤘
James Murphy is a very underrated guitarist, this guy is one of the best if not the best lead guitarist in death metal
You got that right!!! Disincarnate only made one album Dreams of the Carrion Type... Great fucking album, Murphy is a genius!!!
@@deweyreese4203 Spiritual Healing LP by Death- was the first record I've heard James playing,since that I' ve released this guy is a guitar god
Why underrated...?
One of the best 4 sure.🤘🤘
OH YOU MUST BE TALKING ABOUT THAT SOLO AT THE END OF BODY BAG
It's my favorite Obituary album and will always treasure it, regardless of the fact that I have the most terrible time in my life attached to it. I got my original tape in August 2nd 1992 and was listening to the cassette on my mother's car that was parked inside the garage of my house. Windows almost up, listening to it and getting this gut feeling that someone must have died. Yes, it impressed the hell outta me and I thought that cause I felt it vividly while enjoying it. While listening to side B, I see a group of people from my mother's church coming in my house and through the window I see my mom, talking to them and all of the sudden crying helplessly like Ive never seen her before! At that time, my grandmother and her Alzheimer's sister were living in my house and I said to myself, ohh Shit, one of them just died. I kept listening until the end, put the tape inside the box and headed to my room to put it back where I had my collection of Tapes and LPs. From my room I went to the kitchen to get some water and all of the sudden I hear a girl trying to calm my mother's tears and then she said enough and I heard it:...Please Mildred, do not get like that because all we know is that your husband had an accident in his car and is at the hospital right now...THAT WAS IT FOR ME! She didn't finished the sentence when I suddenly lost my leg's balance and feel down to the floor hard, crying and shouting in just a second because I felt in my heart that pops was dead! The worst day of my life. Indeed we did go to the hospital but, to the morgue to identify the body. Till this day I still listen to this record and remember my father's death. Ive learned to listen to it as a catharsis. Nonetheless, I will never forget the impact of me listening to this and thinking Oh My God, this album is so heavy and eerie, that I felt like someone was dying.... coincidence? IDK
Crazy story, sorry for your loss too
holy
Damn dude, that hit hard.
All the best to you!!! Just so you know.. I believe you will see & meet your pops again in heaven when you eventually go. That's the way it goes.. Nothing supernatural, nothing superstitious, nothing religious.. Just LOVE within a family
Such a tragic tale brother. This universe works in strange ways.
This was in my walkman non-stop in high school.Still awesome in 2019.😊
Mine too .... kids dont know what it was like to carry around all the cassettes to listen to 🤘
Obituary is still my favorite death metal band, and it was on heavy rotation in my walkman as well! Cheers
Lord Belial not to mention you got maybe three good hours of listening due to short shelf life of batteries
I had Consuming Impulse by Pestilence on the cassette b-side
Seriously? You didn't make mixed tapes?
I even sold some tapes.
Smooth jazz
@Лорд Асдергод Gangsta polka
brutal death RnB
🤣🤣❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤😇
My first death metal album 🖤 Murphy’s leads are fucking killer, John’s vocals are absolutely otherworldly, Don’s drum sound is punishing; an absolute masterpiece from start to finish.
mine was death leprosy
Scott Burns is why this album is Killer!!!
Hey don't forget Trevor on the rythm guitar. Majority of the Obituary flavor comes from this man!
The whole album from beginning to end is pure soul music. I’m back in high school. Cutting the lawn on Saturday morning with this shredding in the yellow Sony Walkman!
Haha I used to mow lawns to make money, while listening to tons of thrash, then death metal. All that money went straight to more cassettes/cds!
I get ya. But the “soul music” reference makes me think how funny it’d be to have “Obituary, featuring Aretha Franklin” up on stage. “Mmmmmm-hmmmmm child, c’mon and FIND the ARISE, baby….”
this is one the best bands ever
😂......🤙🏼
This fucking album. Peak Obituary. Peak death metal. Love it.
Classic death metal. A jewel.
This fantasy capturing cover, these legendary like-a-lion vocals, these heavy as pain riffs, this wall of drums... unforgettable album
Американская дэт металл группа ,,Obituary,, и её постоянный вокалист Джон Тарди, Я голосом и манерой исполнения Джона восхищаюсь,
Клёвая команда, всех вам благ,
Россия г Новосибирск,
Один из лучших вокалистов в жанре. И живьем сохраняет ту же мрачную аттитуду блестяще
Love the production on this album.
Perfect for death metal.
Todays metal has much too clean production.
It should be raw like This.
Beacuse more the rawness, more the metal
Imagine opening this when it first came out... It was like yesterday.
Me too! I'm not a big death metal fan tbh, but I've always loved this album because the way the drums are so prominent in the mix. The vocals also sound so much cooler and rawer than the average 'cookie monster' stuff, reminds me more of a hardcore punk band at times.
So many people I knew hated the production on this album. I love it. I thought it was perfect. Lots of low end.
Lo disfrute en 1997 y lo he disfrutado en 2023!! Brutal y Genial...
Reliving my youth in 2021!!!!!!! I can't believe I'm 47 and was head banging to this 30 years ago!!!!!!! Still doing it to this day!!!!!!!
@cinnamon troll hey, I didn't like all their stuff. But this album right here was in my opinion the BEST one they put out. Everything on this album just all came together and hits like a ton of bricks!!!!!! Metal bands of today, could seriously learn a thing or 2 from listening to this album!!!!!! Good talking to a fellow Metal head!!!!!!
I'm 40 and still head banging! I remember my mom telling me I'd grow out of it. She's admitted she was wrong. ha
Never stop!
I AM 40 and still headbanging !!
@@IMPERATOR399 HELL YES!!!!!! Just a lot slower now days girl!!!!!!
John Tardy's one of my favourite vocalists in this genre.
that broken voice, I love it :)
I remember when I was a kid they either thought *J.T.* was the best Death Metal vocalist or he sounded like someone throwing up.
😃 👍
Mine is Martin van Drunen.
I liked that little blond chick that did the grunts for Cynic :)
back when we bought records based on the awesome cover artwork 😀
First heard this in 1991. I can’t believe I’m getting old but this still sounds fantastic. Hard to believe I was 18 when this came out.
This album is on a pedestal of amazing albums, so clear, so heavy, so well produced.
This cover caught me in the 90s and it catches me now, an authentic work of art, the album? a real masterpiece, so many memories ... I'm getting old, hahaha
You not the only one
We are gettin old to 😂
Find rthe Arise is one of the best songs of its career! Great track!
My favorite obituary album. A solid fuckin 10. Love this CD. Saw this tour twice and met all the guys. Cool dudes. James Murphy on lead guitar. One bad ass guitar player
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Agree dude, my favourite too.
Fucking a dude
Yep.
So fuckin' badass that he completely turned Testament around!
\m/ >< \m/
Saw them on this tour too -- double headliner with Sepultura in a club show. That show was INSANE, we were all going nuts in the pit!
Me as well
The intro solo of James is unforgetable and unique.I have listened this solo milions times and I`m absolutely sure for me ,that is the best solo in music ever
A true death metal masterpiece.
Well worded. I agree. 🤖🧡
Florida death metal is king. I listened to this album 375 times on a boom box in my bedroom. It made me who I am.
I've seen them live in my country.
I will NEVER forget that performance.
OBITUARY and DEATH...are the best death metal bands period!!
Hold my beer for comments
True and o think he sings like Chuck schuldinner too!
True and o think he sings like Chuck schuldinner too!
Both are on my playlist, to the drive to work and back! Death, Obituary, Deicide, Autopsy, Napalm Death, etc, just started to listening to this kind of music, I never liked Death Metal before, but now I really love it!
Cannibal Corpse will always be in that mix too 🤘
I was 20 years old and a soldier when the Obituary performed in Budapest. I ran away from the barracks to see them. The concert was an unforgettable experience. Thank God! I am 50 years old.
Ok
So, are you tellin' me you're a deserter? If yes, cheers, buddy!! Like we say here'in Québec: " Crisse ton camp de là" Ciao.
@@patrickduchesne7772 Après le concert, je suis retourné à la caserne.
@@tamastorok8512 Три (3-и) наряда в не очереди давали?
@@user-nb7rz4oj5m Я не понимаю. Кто получил 3 платья без очереди?
Those James Murphy solos....fkn sick...
the best !
So glad that bands like Obituary still in the Underground.
It feels like just the best ones are in.
Chopped in half is amazing.
this is the album I think of when I think of Obituary
This... In cassette... Sunday at night... Lights out...
Like the first time...
Love it....
No death metal band has ever or will ever have groove like these guys.
And Death
....Bolt thrower as well.
Don't forget Bloodbath🤘🤘🤘
Not unless they exist out their genre. Nowadays everyone who has groove gets pigeon holed into another genre by elitest cunts who smoke too much pot.
This is the greatest death💀 metal record! Trust me I know.
Hardest album in my life!!!!My childhood’s is❤❤❤One love Obituary!!!!!!!!Thank you so much!
In Philly tonight! This album, in it's entirety! Happy 30th.
Happy 35th. ...
Philadelphia represent brother

I love this cd. Dying is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Adding James Murphy on this masterpiece did the trick!
Best vocals Ever... congratulations from Brazil!
Masterpiece. One of the best albums ever, any genre.
I still love obituary...I cnt help it. this albulm is one of my faves of all time still to this day
That's an awesome cover of 'Circle Of The Tyrants' !!!!!!
CELTIC FROST was a huge influence on many metal bands.
Thank you, OBITUARY, for covering that song.
First Celtic Frost was great, but later...
Check on "Inner Sanctum" from Uruguay. Frozen souls album
Except for that time that went glam with “Cold Lake” 🤦♂️
@@IRONxMONKEY COLD LAKE was awesome. Look (& listen) past the hair.
I got into celtic frost because obituaries cover
That Celtic cover is the best track an this LP IMHO.
Still remember the first time i listen Obituary, was near 1991, when i heard Tardy vocals was insane, and those poweful guitar riffs, and the slow motion death metal, since that day a fan until this days
James Murphy soloing! Perfect fit!
unreal
Death Metal with hardcore punk influences thats why obituary is one of my favs death bands along with Suffocation.
Slowly we Rot-
The End Complete-
World Demise-
The riff of the part in 0:24 sounds so perfect for an album intro
When I listened to this on my walkman I used to push hard my headphones against my ears just to listen to it louder and get much more into the Obituary dimension. 25 years later I've got fuckin tinnitus
vos gueullllllllllllllllleee
In my life….Obituary in my heart,one love!!!!!Florida forever!!!!
One of the greatest death metal records ever period
Absolutely For me up there with Human and Covenant
For damn sure. This was the first death metal album I heard back in the early 2000's when I got into the genre, still has it's own uniquely brutal, identifiable style. I'll never forget the first time hearing Infected when I put the CD in.
Absolutely Amazing! Love the atmosphere and sound.
15:20 CELTIC FROST IS MOST UNDERATED DEATH METAL INFLUENCERS// CELTIC FROST DO NOT GET THE RESPECT THEY MOST CERTAINLY DESERVE******
Yes, they were why I started a death metal band in the 80's.
Lol i cliked the timestamp and a jazz ad started...i was like wtf is this?!
IDK if I agree, they're probably one of the most widely covered metal bands of all time. I love them too but I think their influence is commonly acknowledged by all the early extreme metal bands.
@@erikkroll2154Привет Вам от поклонника из России!!!!!🤗🎸🥁🎸❤️❤️❤️☮️🌃
Для 1990-го года альбом просто убийственно хорош!Всё на месте,никто не отстаёт,вокал вообще бесподобен!
ОБЕ ТВАРИ !!!! Давно не слушал ! Хороший альбом . Классика . Простоватые гитарные рифы , но приятные , отличная работа барабанщика - 50% оригинальности , презентабельности альбома. Красава !
Там соло Мерфи чего стоят) такие запилы. Да и вообще вот такой должен быть дэт метал, без трэшевых элементов, тяжёлый и без компромиссный!
@@user-zs1vh5kk8f
Металл есть Металл.
Это не должно быть "по умолчанию".
Вот почему это у меня в крови!
Смерть ожиданиям.
Да здравствуют варианты!
Мне сейчас 49 лет,а услышал в 19 . Этот альбом тогда был очень крутой, а сейчас он как коньяк за 30 лет ещё лучше и лучше.
@@user-om4qf5bw7s Он бесподобен, тяжёлый очень, до души. В то время сочиняли уникумы, наверное раз в столетие, эпоха своего времени.
All time great Death Metal album!
My favorite Obituary album ever!
When you'll get old you understand..... James Murphy is a killer on this one !
He shined on Disincarnate 🤘🤘🤘
I like him best on Spiritual Healing Low Life solo or Killing Spree solos are badass!! That entire album is great and fun to cover on guitar
I would have loved to see James Murphy do work with carcass. Could you imagine him trading off with Bill Steer? That would have been incredible.
James was great in Testament's LOW album.
Got this in 1990 when first released. We learned Chopped in Half as a band. Killer album & still listening to it today. The best era of metal!
I got this in the Winter of 1990 and it was the most darkest Death Metal album I ever heard up to that point ... it just sucked me into it's darkness like a vacuum. Then there is the Celtic Frost cover to boot! I fucking love 'Cause Of Death'! Hail Obituary - Hails from Canada!
It is exactly 29 years since the release of this masterpiece!!! 🤘
I saw these guys at the cell block and got my nose broke in the pit...fucking awesome...these guys still kicking everyone's asses
Basic, simple, and straight to the point death metal! Have always loved this band from day 1. Still listen to them daily. This band is one of a kind, they definitely have their own sound!
in 92 I've had this album artwork applied to my motorcycle helmet … it was awesome ! then in 99 it got broken after an accident involving a tree :D … great memories !
Doskonała płyta! Zero słabych punktów! Rozkurwiacz i tyle! OBITEWARYYYYYYYY
Rozkurwia od ponad 30-stu lat, bez zmian
Probably my favorite Death Metal album, flawless production (up there with Suffocation's Pierced From Within), every instrument is heard in perfect sound, especially the drums. And John Tardy's vocals are the best of his career here.
This album was successful, but in 1990 an absolute masterpiece in this style was released by the Death - Spiritual Healing.
I feel like Scott Burns production style really fits the feel of this album. I like the weird distance sound of the drums it adds to the atmosphere.
Right. And you don´t recognize any string slides.
In my opi,scott burn iz 1 of bst engineer along wi Terry Date
Yea one of the only times his production don't sound like shit
good ear
Yea,pity you can't say the same for The End Complete..Drums are too treble and tinny on that one,ruins it..
Il miglior gruppo death Metal di sempre con il loro miglior album. Che dire? John “the voice of Terror” è fantastico!!!
Has Obituary ever released a disappointing album?
Every album is always just fantastic. From Slowly we Roy to Obituary. Over 3 decades of killer tones.
Always gives me the warm fuzzies.
World Demise my fav
The last album they put out, their tenth, was as good as this album. Just a great record!
Back from the dead probably the weakest,but still awesome.
@@martinday4457 some else mentioned that also on a different thread. But that opening riff on platonic disease is excellent.
The one thing about Obituary is they remained pretty consistent in sound. Little changes.
They are like the AC/DC of death metal. People either love or hate that.
But even my most favored bands have albums I don’t care for.
@Warren Liberty holographic Ray or Traveling Wilburys Ray?
Lo disfrute en 1997 y lo he disfrutado en 2077!! Brutal y Genial...
Absolute masterpiece,I'm glad I bought the album
That opening blast of riffage...into the savage harmony...all the interesting time changes, groove in the double bass --- death metal master class...
Imagine at the bar you reach for John Tardy's beer by accident and he growled" LLLEEEAAAVVVEE MMYYYYY BEEEEEERRRRUGH !!!!!!!!
There is only one reason why this is one of the greatest death metal albums of all time: James Murphy. Truly sinister lead guitar solos haunt the shadows within this masterpiece. His unique sound is why I still listen to this album, also spiritual healing, and low. James Murphy is a guitar GOD. JAMES; it's time to release the next Disincarnate album; we've waited long enough.
What an awesome and iconic album cover
I saw Obituary in London when this album came out and tomorrow I get to see their 30th anniversary tour in New Zealand 😎
30 years! Oh well, it has been a great time!
I thought they really stepped it up on this one.
To me, as an old guy who watched all this unfold, this album and Bolt Thrower's IVth Crusade is what DM perfected sounds like.
(A few others too like Deaths Human but I won't go further)
Started Listening You 5yearsAgoAndImSooohappyIdonotgetBoredSmartSoundsyouAre
Greatest people Love you All thanks
I fell in love in death metal when I heard this album.Thanx Obituary
Same thing but with Death band but this is nice too!
That's what's happening to me right now.
First herd the obituary in 1999 when was 16 what an awesome band there awesome sound will live on forever
Грозно и зловеще убойно дьявольски прекрасный альбом🔥👿🖤🖤🖤🔥👍все в кайф🤘🤘🤘🤘
The best album I ever heard from obituary been listening to this band since I was a teenager
A classic Album, a icon
This was the first death metal I ever listened to, together with Tomb of the Mutilated. Must have been 1993... I was 14, and I remember this record scared the shit out of me... but deep inside I liked it more than anything else.
Viva el Death Metal, viva Obituary. Saludos desde Chile, escuchando en cuarentena, 4 de septiembre del 2020 🤘🤘🤘
34 years ago this album was released. 34 years prior(1956) to CoD was the year rock n roll took over the airwaves.
The best of the best album in my life ❤Thank you so much!!!!!
Great Album,Great Cover Artwork!!!
Some of the heaviest riffs ever written came from the band in the 80s and 90s, thanks to influences like CELTIC FROST of course, which they homage with the cover of circle of the tyrants which makes them even more cool.
This Album Cover 1990 was Considered one of The Best of All time...one kind of Art and Technology Never seen Before in that Season ...
BRUTALITY
The intro to the title track never gets old, this album never dies, hard to believe I was 12 when this came out.
My most favorite death label ever
one of the best and unique vocalist in metal. and one of the best metal album ever.
one of the best death metal albums of all time
After many many listens this is the best Death Metal band ever!!
As far as florida osdm goes upto this point in 1990(keep in mind just taking osdm into acc so not considering Piece of time by atheist and the key by nocturnus), Altars of madness is the goat by far
Morbid Angel >
dig underground if u think this is the best
This was the most brutal album around 1990 and it´s still a great competitor.
