Death
|
|
'Leprosy' is the second studio album by Death. The album is notable in its different tone and quality from the band's 1987 debut, as it is the first example of Scott Burns' work heard on many of the death metal and grindcore albums of that era. It is the first album to feature drummer Bill Andrews and the only one to feature guitarist Rick Rozz. In a poll by the German Rock Hard magazine, it was voted the number one of the 25 most important death metal albums of all time.

Morbid Angel
|
|
'Altars Of Madness' is the debut studio album by Morbid Angel. The album was recorded in December 1988 at Morrisound Recording in Tampa, Florida. The album is one of the earliest examples of death metal and is considered to have helped pioneer the sound along with Possessed's 'Seven Churches' in 1985 and Death's 'Scream Bloody Gore' in 1987, and set a new precedent for heaviness and extremity, both musically and lyrically. It is one of the most celebrated albums in death metal, and one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time.

'Eaten Back To Life' is the debut studio album by Cannibal Corpse.
