Time for a verdict on #Death's The Sound of Perseverance.

5 out of 5 in my book.

I love it! It ticks all the right boxes. Even the cover of Judas Priest's mighty Painkiller is great.

I LOVE IT!

With this album, not only my #DeathlyDeath #Metaljourney has come to an end, but sadly, also the band's journey ended due to the tragic passing of #ChuckSchuldiner. RIP

Final round in my #DeathlyDeath #Metaljourney

The Sound of Perseverance it is.

I listened to this record once 3 years ago, and I remember that I quite liked it.

#NowPlaying Perennial Quest, which closes a fantastic #Death album!

I'd initially rate this one 4,5 out of 5.

The production is great, the drums are great and somehow Chuck's vocals sound even better on this one.
What a great album #Symbolic is! 🤘

Yes, I am only 2 songs deep in #Symbolic and I can tell that this is a great one!

The production is phenomal! The drumming is 🔥 (I learned that it is provided by Mr. Gene Hoglan).

Somebody told me that this was their best one, let's see, I am all ears 🤘

I just found out that Steve Di Giorgo played the bass on Individual Thought Patter. There are some parts where the bassline is more dominant compared to their previous releases. Overall this one is a solid album, but not as good as its predecessors.
3 out of 5

Starting Monday mornings with #Death is great!
Starting Monday mornings with #Human is great!
Starting Monday mornings with a 4 out of 5 stars album is great!

I love the evolution #Death had in this short period of time. This #DeathlyDeath #Metaljourney is really fun!

Best song on the album? Cosmic Sea! But actually all songs are good to great.

Good morning metalheads 🤘
I will continue my #DeathlyDeath #Metaljourney on my way to the office.

Next on my list is #Death's 1991 release #Human, so here we go:

While Killing Spree blasts my ears off, it is time for a verdict on #SpiritualHealing

I love where they are going with this one. A tiny bit slower, but more technical and complext. That's exactely what I love!
4/5 after one spin (which is actually great).

Is it possible to have a sweet spot for title tracks? Because I think I have 😂

Spiritual Healing on #SpiritualHealing is fantastic!

Did they take the foot of the pedal a bit? Spiritual Healing is a tad slower compared to its predecessors (while still beeing fast). A bit like South of Heaven after Reign in Blood.
Also, it seems like they added a bit of complexity to their recipe.

Who needs sleep if you can listen to #deathmetal?

Next on the menu in my #DeathlyDeath #Metaljourney is #Death's third studio album #SpiritualHealing from 1990, the year three time Olympic Champion Matthias Mayer was born (now you know).

The opener Living Monstrosity is already very promising!

I didn't want to spam the local feed as much with this #DeathlyDeath #Metaljourney, but #LeftToDie is such a banger, I had to tell you.

After all that World Cup drama (f*** you FIFA), it is time to get back to one of the GOATs in metal: #Death

Next up on my #DeathlyDeath #Metaljourney is an absolute cornerstone in #DeathMetal. The year is 1988 and the Album is called #Leprosy

#NowPlaying the title track, Leprosy

While the title track closes #ScreamBloodyGore, it is time for a verdict.

I guess this is an unpopular opinion, but there is a lot of same same on this one. I'd only rate this 2,5 out of 5 if I am being honest.

Tracks that stood out were Baptized By Blood, Evil Dead and the tilte track.

To me, it sounds like that #Death was heavily influenced by Slayer, esp. Reign in Blood, which was released a year earlier. Not a bad thing though!

#DeathlyDeath #Metaljourney Scream Bloody Gore 4

Wow, that intro stands out so far! Evil Dead tops Baptized in Blood just because of this fine intro.

#NowPlaying Baptized in Blood, and it's the best one so far!

#DeathlyDeath #Metaljourney Scream Bloody Gore 2

I know that #Death are beloved icons. I guess the debut is also considered as an all time classic. And I appreciate that it was groundbreaking back in the 80s, but...

...so far I find it a bit boring. 🤷 Yep, I said it.

Yes it is raw, yes, it's straight in your face metal. But it lacks variation. Halfway through the album it feels same same.
