Intro:

This was the first release for Death. Scream Bloody Gore was probably the rawest Death album ever. This album doesn't have the 'technical' sounds like the other album's Death and [bChuck Schuldiner compiled. In my humble opinion this album has done for Death Metal what Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Done for Doom Metal. With Schuldiner writing all the songs on this album, it's trurely amazing, lyrically and insturmentally.

My thoughts:
I know it's highhly argurable about what Death Metal came first, some say Possessed, some Death. Even though Possessed - Seven Churches was released first, Scream Bloody Gore, took it a bit farther. It was also, much more all around brutal. The first time I popped this album into the CD player, it really blew me away. I think album really blew people away in the 80's also. The production was ifish, but I liked it. Scream Bloody Gore was an extremely raw album. The all around brutalilty of this CD is also like no other Death album. The lyrics are really ''gorey''. The discs lyrics were based completely around ''horror''. "Evil Dead" was even named after a horror film. The riffs often time seem like a mix of Slayer and Possessed. Chuck's guitaring skills weren't at their peak at this time, but still showed huge talent. With low pitched screams, which for 1987 was pretty new. I can't forget to mention the deadly sounding drums. Seemed like sometimes Chris Reifert went crazy on the drums. Including great sounds with double bass drumming, also. The songs on this album are simpler than the later Death. However, that doesn't take away from the awesome factor this album possess. This album was very exciting, which add's to the sick sounds. The first song on this album, too me, has the sickest intro on the CD. (Infernal Death). The title track is my personal favorite on this entire album of awesome songs. It starts off with yet another kick ass intro, the riff is a little thrashy sounding, in my opinion, but none-the-less awesome. This is probably the most complex song on this entire album. The song ''Mutilation'' is the most brutal song on the album possible.

Closing thoughts
Ranking: 4.5/5 (not being baised)
Why? I think this album gets a 4.5, due to the amount of talent in the music. The overall sound is one of my favorite in Death Metal. The originallty of this album is enough to earn it big point's in my book.
Should I buy it? If you're digging Death metal or call yourself a fan, you better own it!!
