Welcome to album review Tuesdays here on the channel and tonight we are going deep beneath the earth into Florida USA for a review of an absolute classic, and this one was requested by Brandon Derment, thank you for the request. Tonight's review is of OBITUARY-Slowly We Rot, which was released in 1989 on R/C Records. This album is widely hailed and regarded as one of the best death metal albums of all time, and for good reason! So before we get into the review im going to give you guys a background on Obituary and the lineup.
Originally formed in 1984, under the name Executioner. Since there was already a band called Executioner in Boston, they changed it to Xecutioner and then finally to Obituary in 1988, after they signed with Roadrunner Records.

Obituary are considered to be one of the pioneering bands of the death metal genre. They started playing music in the vein of Venom and Celtic Frost. Once the band started hearing groups like Possessed, they realized that they want to make music as "sick as these guys."

Their "The End Complete" album is crowned the best selling pure death metal album ever released, selling over 100,000 copies in the US, and over a quarter million worldwide. Also, the new Obituary logo (as can be seen on "The End Complete") has been considered Roadrunner's best selling shirt print in its history.

Obituary had a six year absence between 1998-2003, because the band members had other priorities to turn to like raising new families and getting "real jobs". The reunion is credited to Donald Tardy's time playing in Andrew W.K.'s band, when, during one live performance in Florida, some of the other Obituary members were present and decided to play some Obituary tunes just for fun for the audience, eventually leading to a full-time reunion.
Alright so the Lineup on Slowly We Rot is as follows

John Tardy-Vocals, Lyrics
Allen West -Guitars (lead)
Trevor Peres- Guitars (rhythm)
Donald Tardy- Drums
Daniel Tucker- Bass
