Essential!
Suffice to say if you consider yourself a death metal fan and don't have this album, get real! I believe this was at the time the best selling death metal album ever, not sure if another has surpassed it since. I can't think of what else to say, some of the reviews on here really nailed it on the head. Also the album cover is awesome and looks about like a Missouri/Kansas sky when a tornado is coming.
Classic Death Metal, 5 Stars All The Way
They are no truly one of the greatest and I DO mean one of the greatest death metal bands of all time. God, I love Obituary. I've been a fan of theirs guys ever since I bought both 1989's "Slowly We Rot" and 1990's "Cause of Death" (which were both death metal classics and some of my favorite death metal albums I own) about four years back, and I still listen to them both to this day forward. Then a year later, I would go on to buy both 1994's "World Demise", and of course the album that I'am reviewing right now 1992's "The End Complete". Released in the year of 1992, Obituary's third studio album "The End Complete" is a true death metal classic. This album is also (from research that I did) is the best selling death metal album of all time as well. To me, "The End Complete" is arguably one of Obituary's best albums as well as being their best written album too. John Tardy is one of the best death metal vocalists of all time, and one of my favorites as well. His vocals on here are some of the most harsh, sickest, gutteral, and best sounding on here, I mean he just sounds like a freakin beast. Lead guitarist Allen West and rhythm guitarist Trevor Peres are both great guitarists. They both rip, tear, and slaughter through every song with heavy chainsaw like buzzing riffs, and Allen's solos are just absolutely fast, ripping, and wild throughout. Frank Watkins's bass is pretty good, and Donald Tardy's drumming is just great on here as well with plenty of great double bass kick action. Every song is a classic but my favorites on here are "I'm in Pain" "Back to One", "Sickness", "Killing Time", "In the End of Life", "Corrosive", and "The End Complete". There's also a couple of live versions of "I'm in Pain" and "Killing Time" which were both recorded live during the band's Back From the Dead World Tour in Austria as well. So anyways if you're a fan of Obituary, death metal, heavy metal, etc. you seriously gotta get your hands on this death metal classic known as "The End Complete". This my friends is classic essential death metal man. Enjoy and happy headbanging.

The End IS COMPLETE!
C. M. Undead traded some 80's rock tape which he can't recall with some dumb punk kid who gave him The End Complete by Obituary in 1992 after Hurricaine Andrew destroyed his home. The End Complete simply was Complete as far as death metal goes. It carried M. C. Undead through dark times and tribulations especially since after Andrew everything really seemed like The End Complete. Every Single Friggin Track Overtly slays anything in its path. . . Nuff Said.
