![]() But those are the people who aren't really listening. Other people have commented that this album is "boring" and just the same thing over and over. What to expect in addition to what I said: "Zombie Ritual", what a great song! It's fast, it's catchy, but like all the songs on here. These guys practiced and practiced for this to get made and out to listeners. ![]() I think that the fact that he always thought "metal is metal" and it shouldn't follow in categories which now there are numerous categories of metal. This album set the tone for other death metal bands like Morbid Angel, Deicide, Malevolent Creation, et al to move into this category. ![]() So he never really fit that mold to playing death metal exclusively throughout his musical career. A lot of death metal bands keep producing the same records over and over, Chuck wanted to progress as a musician. Chris wanted to stay in the band but Chuck was already moving on.

'Scream Bloody Gore' is nothing polished but the sound wasn't so raw that you couldn't make out the guitar riffs. They acquired Terry Butler on those 2 recordings also on bass. And different lineup as Chris was let go of his drum duties handed over to Bill Andrews ('Leprosy' and 'Spiritual Healing'). 'Leprosy' was close but you could hear from that recording the songwriting progression. Whether this is your first experience with Death or not, one view is this: Chuck did not make any album sound the same.

Chuck did a great job on 3 avenues: vocals, guitar and bass Chris on drums. The music on here is raw, heavy and straightforward. Seems to be between Possessed '7 Churches' to Death's 'Scream Bloody Gore' where the conflict is which album founded the genre of death metal wholeheartedly? I'd have to say Death, especially well talked about on the Death By Metal documentary is that Possessed '7 Churches' was a bit "sloppy" and Death's 'Scream Bloody Gore' was "tighter". ![]()
