{"product_id":"death-scream-bloody-gore-1","title":"Death - Scream Bloody Gore","description":"\u003cp\u003eChuck Schuldiner's Death practically drew the blueprint for a whole genre with Scream Bloody Gore, the 1987 debut widely hailed as one of the first true death metal albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchuldiner had spent the mid-1980s trading demo tapes and reshuffling line-ups before settling in California with drummer Chris Reifert to record this album. Produced by Randy Burns, it took the speed of thrash, the grime of horror films and a fierce, guttural vocal style and pushed them somewhere new. Countless bands traced their own sound back to this record, and its influence still echoes through extreme metal today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe songs are gleefully gruesome and full of energy. \"Zombie Ritual\" is the standout, a mid-paced lurch that erupts into frantic riffing and remains a staple of the band's legacy. \"Infernal Death\" opens the record with raw, scrabbling urgency, while \"Evil Dead\" nods to the cult horror classic with a charging, gore-soaked rush. The title track closes things out with all the subtlety of a slasher film finale, which is exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLater albums would find Schuldiner chasing progressive, philosophical territory, but this is where it all started. On vinyl, the record's rough edges feel thrillingly alive, an essential document for anyone tracing heavy music's darkest roots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439069143345,"sku":"781676732418","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Death-Scream_Bloody_Gore.jpg?v=1794151929","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/death-scream-bloody-gore-1","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
