OBITUARY

Classic debut album from 1989 by American Death Metal legends OBITUARY, one of the most important bands in the creation and development of the genre. Originally released under the title "Slowly We Rot", this landmark recording marked the definitive arrival of the Florida-based group led by brothers John and Donald Tardy, establishing from the very beginning a distinctive identity built around crushing riffs, oppressive atmospheres and the brutal, unmistakable voice of John Tardy.

Within the OBITUARY catalog, "Slowly We Rot" remains one of the most influential releases of the late-1980s Death Metal movement. Unlike many of its contemporaries, the band embraced a particularly dark and heavy approach, emphasizing weight and atmosphere over sheer speed. The result was an album that helped define the characteristic Florida Death Metal sound and became a key influence on countless bands that followed. More than three decades after its release, it remains an essential recording for understanding the origins and evolution of American Death Metal.
