Death metal had to have garnered its name from somewhere. When Scream Bloody Gore finds its way to your stereo, you will be listening to a first. A pioneer, a revelation; and this isn’t even in Death’s top five albums.
The first to cut loose with rampant repulse and horror, Chuck Schuldiner’s Death are the undisputed proprietor of all things death metal. Scream Bloody Gore is his debut, and while it is undeniably a strong album, the band only got better with age.
It is always fascinating to dig down to the roots of a genre, and at the heart of the death metal tree you’ll find this treasure. Scream Bloody Gore is essential listening.
