246 - Death Left to Die 1988

Even before the evil vibes of the 1987 debut, "Scream Bloody Gore", had been absorbed, Death spawned another evil piece of mayhem: "Leprosy". It is enforced by well structured songs, containing elements that were inspired by bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest; fast, melodic solos, and heavy riffs with groove and speed. The tracks are more epic, more melodic and less primitive than displayed on their debut. The solos of Chuck Schuldiner and Rick Rozz have quite a different approach, whereas Rick spills his guts in some Slayer-like maniac manner, Chuck shows a more melodic and structured approach, yet keeping it aggressive as could be. "Left to Die" is one of the outstanding tracks on the album.
