On early recordings Tardy dispensed with language entirely for his vocal approach, and instead made guttural, indecipherable noises that fit the music perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by local heroes like Nasty Savage and Savatage, as well as the primitive approach of Hellhammer\/Celtic Frost, Obituary made an instant impact and reached a global audience via their appearance (under the name ‘Xecutioner’) on the Godly Records seminal ‘Raging Death’ compilation in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir debut album ‘Slowly We Rot’ blew minds everywhere, pushing the death metal envelope further with the brutality of the vocal approach and the intensity of the music. However, the follow up ‘Cause of Death’ (bolstered by the addition of guitar whizzkid James Murphy to the ranks) raised the bar with a superior production, iconic artwork and a dark atmosphere permeating tracks like ‘Chopped In Half’ and ‘Turned Inside Out’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving toured internationally, the band released their third album ‘The End Complete’ in 1992 and continued their ascent, selling over 100,000 copies of the record in the US alone. By the time of 1994’s ‘World Demise’, the band were experimenting with less horror fixated topics and adding an industrial tinge to their sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis release is complimented with the addition of liner notes from writer David Gehlke, who has written Turned Inside Out, the official biography of Obituary. Housed in a sturdy slipcase box, the CDs are replicated jewel case versions of the original pressings (with additional bonus tracks) and are complimented by four reproduction postcards featuring classic images of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACK LISTING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDISC ONE\u003cbr\u003eSlowly We Rot\u003cbr\u003e1  Internal Bleeding\u003cbr\u003e2  Godly Beings\u003cbr\u003e3  ‘Til Death\u003cbr\u003e4  Slowly We Rot\u003cbr\u003e5  Immortal Visions\u003cbr\u003e6  Gates To Hell\u003cbr\u003e7  Words of Evil\u003cbr\u003e8  Suffocation\u003cbr\u003e9  Intoxicated\u003cbr\u003e10  Deadly Intentions\u003cbr\u003e11  Bloodsoaked\u003cbr\u003e12  Stinkpuss\u003cbr\u003e13  Find The Arise (demo version)\u003cbr\u003e14  Like The Dead (demo version)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDISC TWO\u003cbr\u003eCause Of Death\u003cbr\u003e1  Infected\u003cbr\u003e2  Body Bag\u003cbr\u003e3  Chopped In Half\u003cbr\u003e4  Circle Of The Tyrants\u003cbr\u003e5  Dying\u003cbr\u003e6  Find The Arise\u003cbr\u003e7  Cause of Death\u003cbr\u003e8  Memories Remain\u003cbr\u003e9  Turned Inside Out\u003cbr\u003e10  Infected (demo)\u003cbr\u003e11  Memories Remain (demo)\u003cbr\u003e12  Chopped In Half (demo)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDISC THREE\u003cbr\u003eThe End Complete\u003cbr\u003e1  I’m In Pain\u003cbr\u003e2  Back To One\u003cbr\u003e3  Dead Silence\u003cbr\u003e4  In The End of Life\u003cbr\u003e5  Sickness\u003cbr\u003e6  Corrosive\u003cbr\u003e7  Killing Time\u003cbr\u003e8  The End Complete\u003cbr\u003e9  Rotting Ways\u003cbr\u003e10  I’m In Pain (live)\u003cbr\u003e11  Killing Time (live)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDISC FOUR\u003cbr\u003eWorld Demise\u003cbr\u003e1  Don’t Care\u003cbr\u003e2  World Demise\u003cbr\u003e3  Burned In\u003cbr\u003e4  Redefine\u003cbr\u003e5  Paralyzing\u003cbr\u003e6  Lost\u003cbr\u003e7  Solid State\u003cbr\u003e8  Splattered\u003cbr\u003e9  Final Thoughts\u003cbr\u003e10  Boiling Point\u003cbr\u003e11  Set In Stone\u003cbr\u003e12  Kill For Me\u003cbr\u003e13  Killing Victims Found\u003cbr\u003e14  Infected (live)\u003cbr\u003e15  Godly Beings (live)\u003cbr\u003e16  Body Bag (live)\u003cbr\u003e17  Buried Alive\u003cbr\u003e18  Boiling Point (212’ Sporadic Mix)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MGM Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45055520309430,"sku":null,"price":94.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/9119\/8390\/files\/obituary_godly_beings_expanded_with_text.webp?v=1776123412","url":"https:\/\/repressedrecords.com\/products\/obituary-godly-beings-4cd","provider":"Repressed Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
