open 12 to 7 today ! on this date 23 years ago these two death metal classics were released ! Effigy of the Forgotten is the debut full-length alb** by New York-based death metal band Suffocation, released in 1991. The cover artwork was created by Dan Seagrave. Several of the tracks had appeared on earlier releases: Reincremation and Involuntary Slaughter were re-recorded from the Reincremation demo, while Infecting the Crypts , Mass Obliteration , and Jesus Wept appeared originally on the Human Waste EP. Human is the fourth alb** by American heavy metal band Death, released in 1991. The alb** marked the beginning of a major stylistic change for Death, being more technically complex and progressive than the band's previous efforts. The lyrics are more introspective when compared to the gore-based lyrics of Scream b***** Gore and Leprosy or the social commentary on Spiritual Healing. This new style would continue to evolve on all following Death alb**s. The only alb** to feature guitarist Paul Masvidal, drummer Sean Reinert and the first to feature bassist Steve DiGiorgio.
