What is the Death Metal, one might ask? This. This is the Death Metal. This is THE Death Metal album. Opinions differ of course, and this is just mine (although I know it isn't mine alone). With Scream Bloody Gore it was like Chuck had an idea, and said, hey, check out this idea. But with Leprosy, it was no longer an idea, it was real. Now he's saying hey, listen to THIS. And thus Death Metal was fully released upon the world, and the world was changed. And the cover is even pink!
Favorite track: Pull The Plug.

A classic of early death metal. Even on their second album, Chuck was evolving in terms of lyrics and songwriting.
Favorite track: Primitive Ways.

about
The sixth installment in Relapse’s exhaustive reissue campaign of DEATH’S immensely influential catalog is ‘Leprosy’, the band’s titanic second album. Originally released in 1988 ‘Leprosy’ was a pioneering album, building upon the thrash sounds of Metallica and Slayer but adding a previously unheard level of raw extremity. These songs are the roots of an entire genre: death metal. While this was only the second record Death released, it immediately cemented them as heavy metal icons.
Meticulous care has been put into this reissue. The entire album, as well as the bonus material has been painstakingly remastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Nile, etc). Deluxe 2XCD contains 50 minutes of previously unheard and unreleased Leprosy demos and rehearsal material housed in an embossed o-card package with a 24 page booklet featuring unseen pictures of the band as well as brand new liner notes from Ian Christe (Sirius/XM) and Jeremy Wagner (Broken Hope). LP features the remastered core album on wax together with a download card for all of the music included on the 2XCD.

If ya dig in your face heavy death metal this album checks all of the right boxes. Deep into your bowels vocals, a pummeling rhythm section that’s gonna make you have to change your underwear several times and gigantic riffs that will make your skin crawl out the door to get several bacon cheeseburgers! This is one of my favorite all time albums and one of the best of 2019. Get hip. Get blown away….
