I stole a cassette of this back when I was young lol
It's probably bias on my part, but I strongly believe this to be the peak of Death Metal. I swear after the initial wave of OSDM the whole genre just devolved, like as if all it took was disjonted riff-salads with downtuning and growling. What makes OSDM like Leprosy so great is they still came up with catchy riffs and how intentional the quick changes in tempo and time signatures feel Favorite track: Pull The Plug.

The first time around I heard this seemed different but now years later I go back to revisit and I’m speechless up there with sop easily.
Favorite track: Open Casket.

about
The sixth installment in Relapse’s exhaustive reissue campaign of DEATH’S immensely influential catalog is ‘Leprosy’, the band’s titanic second album. Originally released in 1988 ‘Leprosy’ was a pioneering album, building upon the thrash sounds of Metallica and Slayer but adding a previously unheard level of raw extremity. These songs are the roots of an entire genre: death metal. While this was only the second record Death released, it immediately cemented them as heavy metal icons.
Meticulous care has been put into this reissue. The entire album, as well as the bonus material has been painstakingly remastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Nile, etc). Deluxe 2XCD contains 50 minutes of previously unheard and unreleased Leprosy demos and rehearsal material housed in an embossed o-card package with a 24 page booklet featuring unseen pictures of the band as well as brand new liner notes from Ian Christe (Sirius/XM) and Jeremy Wagner (Broken Hope). LP features the remastered core album on wax together with a download card for all of the music included on the 2XCD.
