Slowly We Rot

Slowly We Rot is the debut album by American death metal band Obituary.[2][3] It was released on June 14, 1989 and is the only Obituary album to feature bassist Daniel Tucker. Guitarist Allen West would leave soon after but returned for the third album The End Complete. It was re-released on January 27, 1997 with remastered sound and liner notes. Despite being recorded in standard tuning and with Fender Stratocasters, it is considered to be one of the band's heavier efforts. The remainder of the band's output has been recorded in D tuning.

gollark: Again, lack of control. Telemetry, forced updates, advertisements, random software being installed...I mean, yes, there are some nice points, but it's kind of regressing in some areas and progressing in others.
gollark: Okay, wait a bit, I'm going to get back on my laptop now so I can type fast.
gollark: I generally expect newer versions to be better, not worse like Windows.
gollark: Well, that's "nice" of them.
gollark: I've seen "this copy of Windows is not genuine" popups but that was on 7.
