The sixth installment in Relapse's exhaustive reissue campaign of DEATH's
immensely influential catalog is Leprosy, the band's titanic second album.
Originally released in 1988
Leprosy was a pioneering album,
building upon the thrash sounds of Metallica and Slayer
but adding a previously unheard level of raw extremity.
These songs are the roots of an entire genre: death metal.
While this was only the second record DEATH released,
it immediately cemented them as heavy metal icons.
Meticulous care has been put into this reissue.
The entire album, as well as the bonus material
has been painstakingly remastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Nile, etc).
