Slowly We Rot

1989 studio album by Obituary

Slowly We Rot is the debut studio album by American death metal band Obituary, released on June 14, 1989. It is the only Obituary release to feature bassist Daniel Tucker.[2][3] Lead guitarist Allen West would leave soon after but returned for the third album The End Complete (1992). It was re-released on January 27, 1997, by Roadrunner Records with remastered audio and liner notes. Despite being recorded in standard tuning and with Fender Stratocasters,[citation needed] 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. A live version of the album, Slowly We Rot: Live & Rotting, was recorded in October 2020 and released in August 2022 by Relapse Records.[4]
