order via link in comments
55 track, 4 disc set from legendary death metal progenitors Obituary.
Featuring the band’s first four full length studio albums released via Roadrunner Records which helped define the genre and are widely regarded as classics to this day.
CD 1 features their 1989 debut album ‘Slowly We Rot’, originally released via Roadrunner imprint RC Records, while CD 2 features the classic follow up ‘Cause of Death’, originally released in 1990. Additionally, the third disc features the band’s 1992 breakthrough full length ‘The End Complete’, while CD 4 showcases the more experimental 1994 release ‘World Demise’.
Formed in 1984 in Tampa, Florida, originally under the name Executioner, the band created a style that was characterized with dense groove based detuned riffs and the inhuman howl of frontman John Tardy. On early recordings Tardy dispensed with language entirely for his vocal approach, and instead made guttural, indecipherable noises that fit the music perfectly.
Inspired by local heroes like Nasty Savage and Savatage, as well as the primitive approach of Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Obituary made an instant impact and reached a global audience via their appearance (under the name ‘Xecutioner’) on the Godly Records seminal ‘Raging Death’ compilation in 1987.
The rest is history……
This release is complimented with the addition of liner notes from writer David Gehlke, who has written ‘Turned Inside Out’, the official biography of Obituary. Housed in a sturdy slipcase box, the CDs are replicated jewel case versions of the original pressings (with additional bonus tracks) and are complimented by four reproduction postcards featuring classic images of the band.
