Death - Leprosy

Year: 1988
Genre: Metal
Label: Combat (click to buy release)

One of the pioneers in death metal, Florida's monster child Death has experienced more member changes than a gas station money jar. This second full-length released immediately after Death's debut album Scream Bloody Gore and certainly steps away from said album's grittiness in tone and production. Singer Chuck doesn't sound too much like a squealing pre-pubescent boy in Leprosy - as he had a handful of those moments in Scream Bloody Gore. This album brings the headbangs, with freakishly fast sweeps and spastic guitar solos. I love "Leprosy" and "Left to Die" - the latter contains a sweet intro and an "eagh!" moment. The more I listen to this, the more I yearn for a perm.
