Death – Scream Bloody Gore (1987)

September 11, 2020

Being the 33rd anniversary of this now legendary album, I decided to give the whole thing a spin. It has been quite some time since I got acquainted with this genre-defining record, and I can’t say that it has aged all too badly, especially considering its age.

There are no words really that I can say that will do this record any justice. I think for something that is so important to the history of metal music, is best to go out and experience it for yourself, and not let someone like me try (and probably fail) to convince you to try it!

I gave the re-issued version a go, which included a bunch of the original Florida demos, which whilst are most likely only going to please Death purists only, I had to admit they had an interesting drum sound that I really liked, and would like to hear more of.
