Unitron
1990 was basically a year for the heavy. More and more bands were finding the importance and extreme effectiveness of a damn good groove to maximize both heaviness and catchiness. Anthrax, Pantera, Slayer, and Testament delivered serious hooks to the thrash world and funk metal was starting to take off. Obituary staked their claim in turning the fast world of death metal into groove world.

Take that monster of Dying, it just immediately demands for headbanging and brings so many good riff hooks in one song before ending in a catchy doom crawl. The cymbal work in the end is a real nice subtle touch. The title track has some fantastic complimenting between the riffs, drums, and great vocal flow. The slow grind of Turned Inside Out is just an instant pump, and still switches up with even more great hooks. Might be my favorite song on here, but they're such fantastic songwriters that it's hard to pick.

It's hard to describe Obituary albums, as they deliver such a pure primal physical reaction to move your body to the cool sounds.
