LP + EP comp by this early death metal band. Basic reason I got it was to update a crappy vinyl copy. "Ridden with Disease" is the best tune here -- good enough, in fact, to be covered by Necrophobic on A Black Mark Tribute.

3. "Alcohcrawl"--instrumental (0:35)

Ran across this CD used for $5.99, and originally was gonna pass it up, until I thought of the potential outcry from all those Autopsy fans out there if I did. :) Good thing, too -- this one's marginally better than their debut, loaded with fat crunchy riffs and deathlike vocals. (Oh yeah, did I mention that the drummer/lead vocalist originally performed on Death's debut album? Didn't think so...) Two of the songs are taken from the Retribution for the Dead EP. Of course, now I've opened myself up to seeking out the rest of this band's catalog...
