Two great metal albums for one great price!
These are two extreme metal classics and are worth checking out if you're a fan of heavier metal. I just finished up my reviews of "Slowly We Rot" and "Cause of Death", but this packaging is how I got both albums. Obituary proves what a great band they are here, with the first album, "Slowly We Rot" being rawer and more stripped-down, like an edgier Slayer, and "Cause of Death" shows the band delving into more progressive, technical and classically-influenced death metal. Both albums are truly great, and at a price like this, you're gonna be on a dark and twisted path to headbanging in no time! Thanks for the time, and peace.


Awesome
Great prices. Great cds, definatley better than getting 2 seperate cds of their first 2 albums.


Are you kidding me?
Great death metal. Awesome stuff and combining these 2 classic metal albums in 1 package is just a wealth of riches. You cannot go wrong.

Take my word for something. . . On these 2 fer re-releases you absolutely must have this one and the one from Suffocation. Both of those are absolute gold mines! Each of those 4 albums are genre leading albums but Cause of Death and Pierced From Within are 2 of the best metal albums you are going to hear. Truely those 2 are brillant.


Excellent 2 In One
Obituary was the first Death Metal band I ever listened to and I had the old CD of "Slowly We Rot" only, and to get their first 2 CD's for a decent price, remastered, with extra tracks was just too much of a good thing I thought. I found this one at a Borders store I believe it was and was amazed it was even available. The great part about these types of packages is the amount of space they take up also, I may get the next two CD's also eventually.

Eventually I've gotten into bands like Death, Morbid Angel, and of course who can leave out Possessed and their "Seven Churches" CD. . which I guess can be considered an early version of a DM band. Obituary remains my favorite of all time though, "Slowly We Rot" I can listen to over and over, especially in the fall (Halloween season), just sets the mood perfectly at times. My fav song by Obit up to this point was and still is "Chopped In Half" on Cause Of Death also, and it's a decent record also.

Obit to me just had the most extreme DM vocals, no lyrics just like I like it, although like has been said you can understand some of it, or at least I can make out a few growls, I always prefer the vox in DM to be just another instrument. Obit and eventually getting into Deicide were and are still to me the heaviest of the DM bands, Death perhaps took it to the next level, and they are probably the best ever, but as far as pure force and sticking to the original sounds, you gotta love Obituary, to me it's fun music to listen to, it's really pummeling and heavy, and regardless of how simple it seems by todays standards; and we all know how technical and sophisticated DM bands are today and this and that, but to me this stuff is classic DM. .


These "remasters" are horrible -
Roadrunner has issues a lot of these 2 for 1 packages (suffocation, gorguts, etc. Slowly We Rot and Cause of Death are two amazing death metal albums. . . ), and to be honest, its a rip off. The inserts have nothing new, and its just 1 piece of papaer with no additonal information; not even a band history has been added. It really just a waste. If you already own these two albums, there is no need to pick this up. Also, I notice no difference in the sound compared to the original CD's. .
