Slowly We Rot is the debut studio album by American death metal band Obituary, released in 1989 through Roadrunner Records.[2][3]
It is the only Obituary release to feature bassist Daniel Tucker.[4][5] Lead guitarist Allen West would leave soon after but returned for the third album, The End Complete (1992). It was re-released on January 27, 1997, by Roadrunner Records with remastered audio and liner notes. A live version of the album Slowly We Rot: Live & Rotting was recorded in October 2020 and released in August 2022 by Relapse Records.[6]
Slowly We Rot is widely considered to be a landmark album in the development of the death metal genre, and its considered one of the first death metal albums ever recorded due to its guttural vocals, "breakneck speed", double bass drumming and blast beats.
