Slowly We Rot

Slowly We Rot is the debut studio album by American death metal band Obituary, released on in 1989 through R/C Records. The album was recorded at Morrisound Recording in Tampa, Florida, and was produced by Scott Burns. It is the only Obituary release to feature bassist Daniel Tucker. Lead guitarist Allen West would leave soon after but returned for the third album, The End Complete. It was re-released on January 27, 1997, with remastered audio and liner notes. A live version of the album Slowly We Rot: Live & Rotting was recorded in October 2020 and released in August 2022 by Relapse Records. Slowly We Rot is widely considered to be a landmark album in the development of the death metal genre, and one of the first death metal albums ever recorded due to its guttural vocals, "breakneck speed", double bass drumming and blast beats. It was considered to be a further development in the style set forth by bands like Death and Possessed. The album's music was considered to be "slower" and "groovier" than other death metal bands of the time.
