Death "Leprosy" VS Obituary "Slowly We Rot" (Death Metal Guitar Riffs Battle)

[@TheSuffocater]

Good evening and thanks for joining me for some classic DEATH METAL !!

[@paulusoftheshadows158]

For me, they are one of my two favorite bands from Tampa Florida and during the 90's they enchanted us with what was happening in the metal scene in the United States. Greetings from Chile and when you have time visit my channel!

[@rockriverash3120]

Great video! Happy New Year!! 🍻🙏

[@schillinger7814]

Always love seeing a fresh vid from you pal!!!!! Keep 'em coming!!

[@brianjohnston5221]

Thanks for ripping these classics🤘

[@tubbiele2]

God bless you and have a great 2024

[@John-wl3hu]

I’m nearly 50’ and still love these albums as much as when they first came out when I was in high school

[@henriquemanuel]

💪💪💪💪

[@Ms666ism]

Amen. I just turned 50 this week and still banging my head!

[@john_the_fisherman6679]

Leprosy is for me the best Death Metal Album ever!

[@AngryFeminist30]

Which is kinda funny because for me Slowly We Rot is the best death metal album ever

[@AxeMain]

​@@AngryFeminist30can't go wrong either way. Both winners

[@AngryFeminist30]

@@AxeMain agreed. Both bands are GOATed!

[@DanDoesntLikeLions]

It's def legit. I know what I'm listening to on the way to work today.

[@Severmore]

Can't cosign with that but definitely has a special place for me. It's the first death metal album I picked up. Have a flag of the cover hanging in my cave.

[@cianlehane1178]

the transition from Leprosy to Internal Bleeding is perfect 🤘

[@ChainsawSlammer1.3.8]

And born dead to godly beings

[@sinistermaniac966]

Death got progressively more tech and proggy. Obituary never changed from their basic chuggy thrash. And I'm amazed they've managed 3 decades with the same formula. Or that their 2 recent albums are some of their best ever.

[@saltpeter7429]

I was about to post a similar comment about the last two OBITUARY albums, I absolutely love them. It ain't some sort of nostalgia thing, they kick ass through and through. Like a fine, fermented and fuzzy, lethal wine...

[@Aenigmakil]

Last Obituary was good but honestly, I find them boring after the first few albums. Debut is best. Death on the other hand were always exciting for me. Best death metal band. RIP Chuck ✌🏾🤘🏾

[@thearchitect817]

Obituary for many was an acquired taste. Johns vocals are stretched out so long it’s crazy. Maybe it’s the fact they grew up in Tampa, my hometown or they’re unique sorrowful solos, from the second slowly we rot was on, I was loving it. Couldn’t believe my ear holes. They’re new shit is solid as always. The formula is bitter, dark and dreadfully perfect.

[@rutbuck121]

Because there are FAN of that formula you don't hear Slayer fans complaining about their same formula since day one.

[@egioch]

Both are among my favorites but it is hard to compete with Chuck.

[@savasyener0]

It't not possible for me to choose one of them. Both of them are masterpieces.

[@SimpleEarthSelfReliance]

This!

[@happycat4838]

I love both, but Obituary is just simple, heavy and pure fun, and that pushes them ahead IMO.

[@vacantplanet]

The two essential records on how to do Death Metal properly

[@brisbanecitybeatdown5924]

Slowly we rot will always be my number one death metal album, followed closely by cause of death

[@87churches]

2 of the greatest death metal albums of all time 🤘🤘

[@michelzenner7282]

the best for me is bolthrower the v crusade

[@robsonwroc]

Leprosy was the first metal album I bought when I was 12 years old. I had no clue what is it I just liked the cover. So we jumped on a train with my class on a school trip and I played it.That first riff just raised hairs on my back and I'm still metalhead 33 years later.Death metal for life🤘

[@cendaracing]

I had a similar experience. I was twelve years old when my brother, who was two years older, brought home an audio cassette of the Leprosy album. Today I am 44 years old and I consider Leprosy to be the best death metal album. Those melodies are absolutely unique, amazing. Among other things, I am still a big fan of the band Sepultura, during the old line-up with Max. Good luck! 🤘 🙂

[@robsonwroc]

@@cendaracing funny you mentioned Sepultura because on the same day and in the same place I also bought the Arise album and it was the second album we listened to on this trip.I scored twice that day.Wjat a beginning of the journey to metal.

[@noized77]

Death riffs has a bit more "feelings" put into them while Obituary riff is just straight up pummeling brutality. Love both equally with different reasoning.

[@scribeofsolace]

Leprosy just has to many more bangers and memorable solos for me. "Slowly we rot" is a good death metal album! however, I think in terms of evolution and such at this point... Chuck was a little more well rounded in his approach to his own craft, enough to line our ears a little more with gold for sure. awesome playing man!

[@BigMuff75]

Two fantastic records. I feel privileged to have witnessed their release.

[@jestes_mop]

chief!

[@Tomoko8885]

The best album in the Death Metal, Slowly We Rot And Leprosy

[@CatVisionTM]

These albums flow from one to the other so well. In honor of this video I spun them back to back while lifting today! 🤘🏻

[@schillinger7814]

Classic!! For me "Leprosy" takes it.

[@SouthernOregonReps]

There is always something so brutal about obituary riffs… I’d could agree… but call it a tie!!! If obituary was the end complete album, I think obituary would edge it out!

[@schillinger7814]

@@SouthernOregonReps Absolutely love "The End Complete". That opening duo of "I'm In Pain" and "Back To One" is as perfect as it gets!!!

[@neverman3398]

@@schillinger7814totally agree with that.

Those two band are all my life ! Thank you so much 🫶🤘

It's quite unusual to hear this when talking about ᦔꫀꪖᡶꫝ metal

[@ytr3488]

You have issues

[@JohnDoe-fz7hz]

If there only be a way to travel back in time and stay in this period.

[@Aenigmakil]

Leprosy vs Slowly We Rot! Obviously Leprosy wins but Rot is a classic! Love all Death but feel you only really need a couple Obituary albums.

[@spitefulwar]

3:48 It's so amazing how "Suffocation"'s riffing is the direct blueprint for Suffocation's oeuvre :D

[@rockriverash3120]

🎸🎶🎵🤘👍 I'm more familiar with Death than I am with Obituary, but all these riffs are killer!!! I will have to look at Obituary more closely. Thanks for another awesome video! 🙏

[@neverman3398]

The first three albums are the spawn of satan himself. Absolutely killer.

[@sicroyalty]

Same

[@madhatter5331]

Definitely can't go wrong with those, it's a good start.

[@doktoroptimo]

same here. time to dig in

[@matthewwhitt1676]

Obituary is still putting out killer albums

[@SomoneTookMyName]

Mother effer. Now Im sitting here head banging. Thanks man. Love both bands as I am an old school metal head.

[@laurenfazenbaker9777]

Death smokes Obituary. Death has to happen before there's an Obituary, so....there's that. RIP Chuck Schuldiner. Am I the only freak that still has both of these albums on cassette? Heavily worn.... Great upload brother. Both of these albums bring back memories. 🤘

[@cannibal666]

Both pivotal albums love death but slowly we rot just had that rawness to it💥🤘🤘👍

[@mikemaas9944]

I was 15 when I first heard slowly we rot and I’m still picking up pieces of my brain. Those years were so good

[@g.g.nonserviam7633]

I feel you Metalbrother 🤘🏻🔥🎸🤘🏻🍻

[@kooldawg6]

Another fantastic compilation! Once again from my early days of diving into metal while in high school in the late '80s. Glad to have been old enough to experience these albums when they were released and they still hit hard 30+ years later!🤘😝🤘My girlfriend back then had a government class project of chosing a song that had a political/social issue and not only had to explain the connection, but also got to play the song in front of the class. When she told me that, I told her she had to use Death's Pull The Plug! She agreed and she said most of the class and the teacher were in shock when the song played🤣

[@jerrychavarria2151]

Jajaja, that experience in the class was so cool 😂🤟🏻😂🤟🏻😂

[@Rob78169]

The soundtrack to my highschool days in the early 90s. Can't believe how many years I've been spinning these albums!!🤘

Your hair got long bro! Awesome tone, and awesome shredding! Nothing beats both bands. I love that you did this and I like how you meshed the two together, keeping the key. Cheers!

[@user-hl4fz4ft4z]

Шикарно , превосходно. С праздниками вас

[@larseckardt_nl]

Well you did it again. Back to my youth. What a riffs once again. Can't choose between one of them. Both bands are kickass. When I heard these two bands for the first time I couldn't bring home what it was. Never heard before. But man all my friends and I loved it and still do. This is metal. Your skills man. Wow.

[@friftar9]

Been subscribed for a long time now, always happy to see a new video from you!

[@nathanieljohnson8727]

Not super familiar with either band but i really like the melodic ideas on the death album. That obituary tone and heaviness cant be beat however.

[@LANGI902]

Two of the finest pieces of metal ever produced. What a trip this was!

[@HAGENBETAMERAK]

What a banger video. Missed you, dude. Great job!

[@thearchitect817]

Death, masterful unique, Obituary, clean brutal doomsday, both bands melodic. All members , really great guys. As for this channel Very nice rendition and comparison.

Man, you are wondergul with the guitar, your skill to play it, and make all that transissions are really AMAZING!! You are like s god of guitar

Excelentes Bandas, ambas me gustan, pero en este caso me quedo con Death, amigo, saludos desde Colombia-Sur América.

[@calabrese741]

Für mich ein klares unentschieden. Beides sind Legendäre Platten. 🤘

[@robertdjohnstone]

Love both bands, interesting to compare their riff styles side by side. Death more melodic and technical but no one goes as hard on big solid chunky riffs like Obituary.

[@jimtguitarist]

Awesome as always!

[@baldyhead]

Excellent work again, sir! I was much more into the primitive bludgeoning of Obituary back then, but both are great records. It would be great if you could do Entombed V Dismember at some point in the future. Cheers.

[@neverman3398]

Good shout. That would be a great battle.

Another blessing from the lord !

🤘HAPPY NEW YEAR'S ALL THE FAN'S🤘 Both of them my favorite 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝👏👏👏👏👏 ⚰RIP CHUCK we miss U⚰

[@MrKINETTIC]

Good comparison, I think the last two are the best comparison between the albums. Thanks for bringing more visibility to these classics.

[@MetalClown1974]

Amon Amarth, Cannibal Corpse, Frozen Soul and Obituary will make the ground quake when they come to Omaha on May 3. They'll be performing at Steelhouse Omaha.

[@maurostrachwitz747]

Death riffs always sound more "Zig-zaggy" (don't know if this make sense, lol), also with weird dissonant textures, Obituary's riffing is more in your face, and groovy at times. Love them both, and your playing as well. R.I.P. Chuck.

[@turenock]

It amazes me how simply brutal obituary riffs are. the riffs are super simple and lack technicality, and yet it makes the riffs 10x more brutal and heavy. both albums are legendary but i groove to obituary more 🤘🤘

[@MrUnl0rd]

Man, I could go a 70 minute album of just one long song of riffs like this. Perhaps joining a bunch of these vids will be a nice mini project.

[@jamescocorikis8595]

Got to go with Leprosy

[@Rasko501]

Slowly We Rot’s riffs are just so damn groovy, and when you add in John Tardy’s vocals, Obituary takes the prize …

[@ChengLi1979]

had a great time back there❤

[@cliffsandcaves]

both pretty great 🤘

Internal Bleeding for Leprosy..🤘🏻🔥 Chuck Rules....🙏🔥🔥🔥🙏🤘🏻😈 ~NON SERVIAM ~ METALBROTHERS & SISTERS🤘🏻🍻

[@chuax77]

Leprosy Absolute Masterpiece

[@saorikudo7317]

It's definitely an essential piece of the early death metal puzzle that no fan of the genre should be without, and one that will probably appeal as much to those who took to the outer fringes of the 80s thrash scene, particularly the mid to late 80s work of Slayer and Possessed.

[@igorszamaszow171]

Volleyball! Join me! Slowly! We rot!

[@maxeypad]

As much as I love Obituary, Death >.

[@JavierSalcedoC]

[@Grumpy_Trucker]

Leprosy is unmatched in Death metal. #1 album of all time from the Godfather of Death Metal

[@xl0nest4rx11]

There is no comparison here what so ever. Death: Leprosy hands down.

[@vixus4075]

Riff battle, that had to be done, awesome stuff as always 🤘🔥

[@glentetrick7243]

Man you're like all the metal guitar players wrapped up in one guy. You are definitely metal!! Kick ass!!

[@sukhbir6246]

As a hardcore punk since the early 90s, Leprosy is the only Death metal album I own - Death metal is not really my thing, but I do love the drumming and absolutely love the track Open Casket and Chucks's voice / vocal style has definitely grown on me.

[@Tiisiphone]

Such a difficult choice! Almost a tie! But I remember the days when I thought I would never like Death Metal...and "Leprosy" proved me wrong! So Death takes the cake.

[@kauecruz32]

Nem comecei a assistir o vídeo mas já dei o like pelo título

[@gabrielvalle9420]

Love them both, but definitely Leprosy is the one

[@greedygreen3063]

Man I love this guy SO MUCH

[@clintn6677]

I saw Obituary a couple times and one time they didn't have a second guitarist just Trevor. Due to the day of the week and weather there was maybe 40 people there. I never realized how punk rock they sound.

[@mylerwilson4879]

It’s due to how many riffs they stole from celtic frost, who stole riffs from discharge

[@blakeprocter5818]

You have a strange definition of the word 'stole'. Influence and theft are two different things. I guess by your logic Quorthon also stole Manowar riffs?@@mylerwilson4879

[@clintn6677]

@mylerwilson4879 Yeah I don't think they shy away from that. I need go revisit both bands

[@doktoroptimo]

well done! Leprosy is one of my favorite dm albums

[@neverman3398]

Wow, one of the best videos yet. Two absolute classics. Keep going my dude.

[@blakeprocter5818]

I don't know why, but the way the Obituary Suffocater looks over to the Death Suffocater every time he stops makes me laugh my ass off. As if it really is two Suffocater clones/twins playing right next to each other. Just a funny image and detail.
