But its gradual unfolding into this is what makes me return every time. The classic “Zombie Ritual” may just be the most glaring example is there really much to that chorus guitar part, or the chorus itself? Nah. But the sheer jumps from explosive drum eruptions and some of Chuck’s most ear-splitting screams melting into a steady, rhythm-dense chorus does the trick every time. Almost every song is driven by a chorus that oftentimes repeats the song title sounds redundant, I know. Such ferocity managed to achieve this with several tactics that would go on to be pillars of most OSDM inspired albums following, and I think the bluntness on this record needs to be dissected.įor one, it would become essential to use repetition properly, which shows itself all over the place.
Yet, as a record that feels like a proverbial head smash against the wall, it remains memorable. Scream Bloody Gore in all its glory wasn’t even matched on the next album due to a slight loss in the chaotic feel that permeates every inch of the debut. Right as they were able to fully nail down the death metal sound that had been brewing for a while, Florida’s Death concocted potentially one of the meanest, most intense records that to this day has never truly been duplicated.
