Remastered re-release of the third full-length album by legendary American Death Metal band.
Clocking in at a taut nine songs in 39 minutes without a second of filler, "The End Complete" may be the definitive Obituary studio album. The band's third, it marks the return of lead guitarist Allen West and it also marks an impressive leap forward in production. The songwriting and playing on Obituary's past albums had been commendable, and "The End Complete" is no exception in that regard. Rather, it's the return of West and the remarkable production job by Scott Burns that sets this album apart from its predecessors. The return of West is important not only because his solos are one of the band's trademarks but also because he's an integral songwriter, here co-penning four of the nine songs. Burns' crystal-clear, in-your-face production is not to be underestimated, either. If anything had marred Obituary's past two albums, both of them otherwise excellent, it was the murkiness of the sound, especially the drums. That's not an issue here at all, however, as Obituary have never sounded this great. The guitar tones especially are downright vivid, particularly when West and rhythm guitarist Trevor Peres depart from one another such as during the solos (the title track is a great showcase for this, and so is "Rotting Ways"). You can practically feel the respective guitar tones buzzing through your head, they're so well recorded. And so are John Tardy's vocals, which are sometimes overdubbed to make them all the more potent and nuanced. They're so well recorded, in fact, you can actually understand some of the lyrics!
This album is Obituary's best selling, with over 200000 copies sold in the U.S. and more than 550000 worldwide. It reached #16 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart. Also, the band's new logo introduced on "The End Complete" is the best selling shirt print in the history of Roadrunner Records.
Re-edition includes two bonus tracks!

Second re-release of the debut full-length studio album by legendary American Death Metal band.
If Death Metal first came to life during the mid- to late '80s courtesy of bands like Florida's Death ("Scream Bloody Gore"), another Florida band, Obituary, brought it to fruition in 1989 with "Slowly We Rot". These five guys took what bands like Death and the San Francisco Bay Area's Possessed had done to a new level of Deathliness. The music of Obituary wasn't simply an Extreme form of Slayer-esque Speed Metal with ghastly vocals; it was full-fledged Death Metal, with down-tuned guitar riffs of monstrous size, painful-sounding growls and moans for vocals, and distinct tempo changes that often brought the songs down to a lumbering Doomy tempo (a revolutionary thing at the time of release) rather relentlessly breakneck speeds à la Thrash. As one of the pioneers of this genre, they created a heavy album where everything was monstrous. From their down-tuned guitar riffs, deep growls and moans and distinct tempo changes.
Obituary's debut album was a ground-breaking release at the end of the 1980s. They were blazing a new trail, along with other Florida peers like Morbid Angel and, a bit later, Deicide, Malevolent Creation, and Cannibal Corpse. It is the only Obituary album to feature bassist Daniel Tucker. Lead guitarist Allen West would leave soon after, but returned for the third album, "The End Complete". Despite being recorded in standard tuning and with Fender Stratocasters, 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.
"Slowly We Rot" is a historically significant album, not only in the context of Obituary's career but, more importantly, in the context of Death Metal in general. This is partly where it all began -- here and across the Atlantic, where the Grindcore bands of Earache were carving out their own niche, one that would soon overlap with that of Obituary and their peers...

The eleventh full-length studio album by legendary American Death Metal band.
Death Metal icons return with their highly anticipated new album. Propelled by the inhuman vocals of John Tardy, the obscenely brutal guitar tone of Trevor Peres and rhythmic brilliance of drummer Donald Tardy, Obituary redefined heaviness throughout the 1990s. From undisputed classics "Slowly We Rot" and "Cause Of Death", through an unexpected hiatus to their current creative renaissance, Obituary have pioneered, defined and expanded extreme metal, becoming one of the underground’s most recognized and respected acts.
"Dying Of Everything" destroys in the time-honoured tradition of early classics "Slowly We Rot" and "Cause Of Death", while maintaining the killer studio sound that the band has been perfecting in their own studio since 2007’s monstrous "Xecutioner’s Return".
These ten new songs smash, kick, and slay with admirable levels of vehemence and viciousness, as if Obituary have reawakened the virile, fearless spirit of their younger selves! It is a crushing slab of the dark'n'hard stuff, executed with merciless precision, and delivered with a killer mix!!

The first re-release of the ninth full-length studio album by legendary American Death Metal band.
Death Metal legends make their Relapse debut with the "Inked In Blood".
