Relapse

Death is a legendary American death metal band formed in 1983. They are considered one of the pioneers of the genre and have had a significant impact on the development of extreme metal music. Led by frontman Chuck Schuldiner, Death released several critically acclaimed albums throughout their career, including "Scream Bloody Gore" and "Symbolic." Known for their technicality and intense sound, Death's music continues to inspire and influence countless bands in the metal community.

With their aggressive yet intricate guitar riffs, complex song structures, and thought-provoking lyrics, Death pushed boundaries within the death metal genre. Their unique blend of melody and brutality set them apart from other bands at the time. Despite lineup changes over the years, Chuck Schuldiner remained at the helm as the main songwriter and driving force behind Death's musical direction.

Throughout their existence, Death challenged societal norms with their lyrical themes exploring topics such as mortality, spirituality, politics, and personal introspection. Their fearless approach to tackling controversial subjects made them stand out among their peers. With each album release, they continued to evolve musically while maintaining their signature sound.

Discover Relapse, an American metal, hardcore/punk and experimental label founded by Matthew F. Jacobson. With a diverse range of styles including death metal, grindcore, metalcore, sludge, industrial, post-rock, synthwave, and black metal among others, they are dedicated to bringing you the best in heavy music.

The label has a rich history with previous sublabels such as Release Entertainment and Desolation House that focused on ambient/dark ambient genres. They also have exciting series like Cult Classic and Relapse Singles Series that showcase exceptional talent from our roster.

Since 2016, all their new vinyl releases and reissues come with stickers featuring a unique 7 character code in the format LPXXXXR. This code is used as a stock keeping unit (SKU) to differentiate vinyl color variants. Please note that this code should not be confused with the actual catalog number which starts with RR.

Restored classics, rare finds, and sought-after releases. Whether you're a vinyl enthusiast or a tape collector, we have something for everyone.

Reissues

This is a truly glorious metal release, certainly Death's finest hour, and easily one of the top metal albums of all time. The sheer ferocity and emotion that channels through each of the intricate, progressive guitar melodies shatters every low opinion of the American metal scene. When you combine Chuck Schuldiner's shrieking vocals (his eeriest performance ever) with the most talented, cohesive lineup yet, you get the definitive Death album. This album delicately mixes the best aspects of past albums Human, Individual Thought Patterns, and Symbolic and takes them one step further. The album is more aggressive, more progressive, and certainly more melodic.
