Obituary - Slowly We Rot

[@joeyoksh]

I opened up KZbin to enjoy this nice, relaxing dose of oldschool death metal. I pressed play, and the pure essence of relaxation and zen flooded into my eardrums, then throughout my body. Moments later, the gravy train of peace derailed, as my laptop froze. "I'll go pee, then maybe it'll be better," I said to myself after pressing control, alt, delete. Upon my return, the sweet metal nectar was nowhere to be found, and the laptop's hardware/software had crashed permanently of sheer metal perfection. R.I.P. Toshiba M780-S7240, circa 2014-2017

[@LoathingWretch]

Why can I hear a smidge of punk rock in this song!? One of my favorite Obituary tunes of all time!

D-beat ish 💯

[@mattcrotts9810]

My God!!!!! One of the best Death Metal bands ever!!!! I remember hearing this for the 1st time and it blew my mind!!!! 42 years old and still blast this while stuck in traffic!!

[@krisu101]

Slowly we rot... in traffic. But yeah, I agree. One of the best old school death metal bands. Slowly We Rot is a staple in my workout playlist.

I still remember the day i bought this album back in 1989......Good memories from my teenage years......

[@Ugc-ri4tw]

I don't need money or fast cars , just Metal

[@frankvandendool882]

No, fast cars are a must. This music comes with it!:-D

[@FockeWulfFW200]

who said fast cars? gimme a Peugeot 406 with this playing and I'm done

[@wilsontovano8262]

Well you need some money to buy metal records

[@sicktwistedmindshiphop1056]

I'm not gonna lie...Money and fast cars sounds pretty badass, especially listening to obituary.

[@Ugc-ri4tw]

Haha yes well if you take my money and fast cars please dont take my Metal !!!!

[@himanshuagarwal0]

This song always brings the good memories back.. Sad never got to watch them live.. I was 18 when I first listened to this song, now I am 29, still enjoying occasionally.

[@Cofantes1]

O melhor album de death metal de todos s tempos. Hail Obituary!!! 🤘🏽💀🇧🇷

[@pliniomarquesjunior4039]

Sem dúvida !!!! VIVA O BITU !!!!

[@humanbeingnotbeinghuman2314]

cant believe i've had the pleasure, the opportunity- NAY! the blessing! of seeing this live. i seen john tardy in the corner of the room practicing by singing into a bottle before he got on stage. dude sounded like a dragon.

The intro guitar work on this track makes me feel as if the flesh on my face is going to melt off. AWESOME.

[@saraivatoledo1842]

After Death there´s people like Philthy Animal , Selim Lemouchi, Cliff Burton , Per Ohlin , Lemmy etc ... ; ALL waiting for you up in the sky to tell you that " God " was in fact a solid rock band and you´ve just bought the ticket to go watch it ,since you missed it all by worshipping "Little Riding Hood"s and similar kiddy stuff all your life.

[@teddieprine947]

Man, what a amazing album, I still own this on cassette, miss the80's and 90's, so many awesome band in those era's.

[@pencilpen8838]

You were on Dark Funeral Eternal Eclipse Video

[@kryptichands968]

One of my top 3 death metal bands, and throughout the years what a fucking line up

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

Gotta admit, that is a brutal groove they have going in this song. And love how the tempo picks up and changes just after the guitar solo. I remember when this came out, back then word of new bands was mostly by word of mouth from your friends. Kinda freaky to think how long ago it was and is called old skool death metal now. Oh well, good music is timeless.

[@latino_God]

Back then I always discovered new bands through Hit Parader, Circus and RIP Magazine

[@michaelruddock9037]

"Brutal groove" is probably the best description I've ever heard of this song :)

[@Dark-Lord-Of-The-Sith]

This song so takes me back to the late '80's early '90's. Love this song! Saw them live at Hara in Dayton.

[@carpathianken]

I was playing this c.d at work & my boss walked In. "He said who's this band"...So I said "It's Obituary from Florida", then he said, "It sounds like they're fucking dead".

[@marvelsinuraya6947]

Slowly we headbang

[@ihatethisstupidform]

Gotta pay my respect to the old school. Still love my deathcore, and newer death metal, but Obituary is the shit.

[@sodom9168]

everyone has their own preferences in music, and trying to convince a person who did not even try to delve into the essence of the death metal genre of the 80-90s, and expressed his opinion after hearing just one obitary song, is a pointless thing

[@MrRalfEb]

Der Kultklassiker von Obituary!!! Einfach nur geil!!!

[@1988lovesan]

Slowly we rot. Thats a fact.

[@MothershipOracle]

perfect soundtrack for the chaos and fucked up world we live in! back in 89', we'd put this album on the deck, load several hash bongs and headbang......roaring along with john tardy, - society -bred straight heads gasping in terror! - this album was top of the playlist. we played it that loud, you could hear it 100 yrds down the road! neeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooowah!!!

[@sonofagun4505]

MothershipOracle still doing the same thing to this day! \m/

[@MothershipOracle]

i'll smoke one for ya! lets load m' up!!!

[@TheMoonlapsed]

My older deadhead frined who loves bluegrass and shit like that would throw down harder than anyone I ever seen when I put on this album. Apparently he came up in florida in the 80s. Fuckin love when I can get a couple hippies dancing rather than crying when I throw on some metal during a trip.

Epic beyond belief. Legend. Just saw Obituary with Hatebreed last night in Sacramento. They absolutely fuckin crushed. Got to chop it up with John Tardy. Such an awesome cool dude! They are so badass live. Obituary beats are stompfoot thunderhoof larger-than-life! Like Godzilla with combat boots on! Much love to Obituary! Metal Gods For All Time, Space, And Dimension!

[@MrAshTM1]

+Bailey Martin Are you implying the rest of the song is crap?

[@MetalliBanger88]

Jason Doran Of course not. The beginning riff is just fucking slow and heavy.

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

+Bailey Martin then it would have become a freaking doom metal song, this isn't doom metal, is DEATH METAL

[@kaineobrien970]

+Bailey Martin probably would've been considered more death doomish if it was just that riff.

[@TheGoldblaze]

Yeah because the rest of the song is just insanely fast, right?

[@Tibbz1313]

Thank you Ol from Evile and Necro for after reading your lists of top metal album's you both listed this album, I was never familiar with Obituary although I am huge metalhead but because of those interviews I am a diehard fan!!! This is brutal, fast and what metal is and should be about!!!🔥🤘
