I opened up TH-cam to enjoy this nice, relaxing dose of oldschool death metal. I pressed play, and the pure essence of relaxation and zen flooded into my eardrums, then throughout my body. Moments later, the gravy train of peace derailed, as my laptop froze. "I'll go pee, then maybe it'll be better," I said to myself after pressing control, alt, delete. Upon my return, the sweet metal nectar was nowhere to be found, and the laptop's hardware/software had crashed permanently of sheer metal perfection. R.I.P. Toshiba M780-S7240, circa 2014-2017
My God!!!!! One of the best Death Metal bands ever!!!! I remember hearing this for the 1st time and it blew my mind!!!! 42 years old and still blast this while stuck in traffic!!
cant believe i've had the pleasure, the opportunity- NAY! the blessing! of seeing this live. i seen john tardy in the corner of the room practicing by singing into a bottle before he got on stage. dude sounded like a dragon.
Epic beyond belief. Legend. Just saw Obituary with Hatebreed last night in Sacramento. They absolutely fuckin crushed. Got to chop it up with John Tardy. Such an awesome cool dude! They are so badass live. Obituary beats are stompfoot thunderhoof larger-than-life! Like Godzilla with combat boots on! Much love to Obituary! Metal Gods For All Time, Space, And Dimension!
This song always brings the good memories back.. Sad never got to watch them live.. I was 18 when I first listened to this song, now I am 29, still enjoying occasionally.
perfect soundtrack for the chaos and fucked up world we live in! back in 89', we'd put this album on the deck, load several hash bongs and headbang......roaring along with john tardy, - society -bred straight heads gasping in terror! - this album was top of the playlist. we played it that loud, you could hear it 100 yrds down the road! neeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooowah!!!
My older deadhead frined who loves bluegrass and shit like that would throw down harder than anyone I ever seen when I put on this album. Apparently he came up in florida in the 80s. Fuckin love when I can get a couple hippies dancing rather than crying when I throw on some metal during a trip.
I was playing this c.d at work & my boss walked In. "He said who's this band"...So I said "It's Obituary from Florida", then he said, "It sounds like they're fucking dead".
i bought "Slowly We Rot" on cassette back when i was 17... i fuckin' hated it, cuz it was too weird and extreme... today i am 42, and i see the genius... GODZ OF DEATH METAL... (only topped by "Cause of Death").
I WAS CHARGING MY PHONE A WEEK AGO IN NYC AND I SEE A DUDE WITH LEATHER JACKET// LONG BLOND/ BROWN HAIR// I WAS SHELL SHOCKED// IT WAS JOHN TARDY// I DID NOT WANT TO BOTHER JOHN// PRIVACY DUDE// WHAT A TRIP//I GOOGLED AND OBITUARY WERE DOING SOME SHOWS IN AREA \,,,/
Human life can be resumed in seconds if you crank the amp supported 10' woofers in your trunk! People please, believe in the devil . Drive and and "feel the base" DJ magic style!
After Death there´s people like Philthy Animal , Selim Lemouchi, Cliff Burton , Per Ohlin , Lemmy etc ... ; ALL waiting for you up in the sky to tell you that " God " was in fact a solid rock band and you´ve just bought the ticket to go watch it ,since you missed it all by worshipping "Little Riding Hood"s and similar kiddy stuff all your life.
amazing song, amazing album, amazing band, those guys play a simple, straight, brutal and true metal! the new generation should be learn more of that stuff!
Gotta admit, that is a brutal groove they have going in this song. And love how the tempo picks up and changes just after the guitar solo. I remember when this came out, back then word of new bands was mostly by word of mouth from your friends. Kinda freaky to think how long ago it was and is called old skool death metal now. Oh well, good music is timeless.
My father was one of the coolest- he knew i was into some shitty music and artwork- so he brought me an obituary t shirt- the one and only time in my life when i first had the t-shirt and then the chance to check em out...
everyone has their own preferences in music, and trying to convince a person who did not even try to delve into the essence of the death metal genre of the 80-90s, and expressed his opinion after hearing just one obitary song, is a pointless thing
Thank you Ol from Evile and Necro for after reading your lists of top metal album's you both listed this album, I was never familiar with Obituary although I am huge metalhead but because of those interviews I am a diehard fan!!! This is brutal, fast and what metal is and should be about!!!🔥🤘
Dude , I begun listening to this before the bassist who recorded these bass parts disappeared from the face of earth before even having recorded them ...this was the year for Death Metal ...all raw and brutal , just the kick in the arse the deteriorating Thrash scene was needing back then .
I'm 16yo and when I walk past my classmates with their deathcore outfits and this in my in-ears....I feel like I'm the only one carrying the inheritage...But I shant give up lol.
This song live is a real boogie woogie lemme tell ya 💃🏿 saw these guys at a small venue with no stage. Oh my we got sweaty, lads. Florida Man For President.

Now it’s in a landfill somewhere SLOWLY ROTTING
Joe Yoksh this deserves more likes nearly died of laughter

OK 🐥
My God!!!!! One of the best Death Metal bands ever!!!! I remember hearing this for the 1st time and it blew my mind!!!! 42 years old and still blast this while stuck in traffic!!
Slowly we rot... in traffic.
But yeah, I agree. One of the best old school death metal bands. Slowly We Rot is a staple in my workout playlist.

Why can I hear a smidge of punk rock in this song!? One of my favorite Obituary tunes of all time!
D-beat ish 💯
I listened to them several decades ago. They still rock!
Who is still here in 2O21?! And who agrees Obituary will outlive any Pandemic!! Fuck COVID!!
100 !!
I don't need money or fast cars , just Metal
No, fast cars are a must. This music comes with it!:-D
who said fast cars? gimme a Peugeot 406 with this playing and I'm done
Well you need some money to buy metal records
I'm not gonna lie...Money and fast cars sounds pretty badass, especially listening to obituary.
Haha yes well if you take my money and fast cars please dont take my Metal !!!!
When I was young, I was too scared to buy this album
I wanna hear John Tardy pay tribute to Chuck and cover a song by Death from Scream Bloody Gore. Like - Regurgitated Guts🌹
On God!!!
They already try to hard to be Death
Yeah, he sounds so much like early chuck
That would be sweet.
@@DareBrad more brutal that Chuck ;)

I was playing this c.d at work & my boss walked In.
"He said who's this band"...So I said "It's Obituary from Florida",
then he said, "It sounds like they're fucking dead".
sick!
That’s the point
Nice

after years the people understand its the same in every country on everymetaller
! was 19 at that time ... and feel the same way
It takes time, sometimes to ... appreciate SICKNESS YEAHHH Points for all us 70's babies. ;)
axeofgod72 I'm 17 and love the stuff. Glad it didn't take me so long to love Metal
I had a similar experience this band wasn't as polished as other deathmetal at the time.

Louis Csanko awesome 🤘🤘🤘
I still remember the day i bought this album back in 1989......Good memories from my teenage years......
Slowly we headbang
This song hands down has one of the best intros ever.
One of my top 3 death metal bands, and throughout the years what a fucking line up
O melhor album de death metal de todos s tempos. Hail Obituary!!! 🤘🏽💀🇧🇷
Sem dúvida !!!!
VIVA O BITU !!!!
Best pop rock song
OH! WE GOTTA TROLL HERE!
nekrorekordz It was light hearted, I fucking love Obituary.
nuh bruh its nintendo core
***** I agree it is one of them, None So Vile by Cryptopsy is also a really good album!
DustyFlair3 nintendocore is not metal besides its shitty crunkcore like blood dance floor
This song so takes me back to the late '80's early '90's. Love this song! Saw them live at Hara in Dayton.
I remember hearing this live for the first time back in 91/92 I think, they were in the UK, it was awesome
Human life resumed in three words: Slowly We Rot
Human life can be resumed in seconds if you crank the amp supported 10' woofers in your trunk!
People please, believe in the devil . Drive and and "feel the base" DJ magic style!
yes but after death there is eternal life
one night i dream hell
Dont joke
After Death there´s people like Philthy Animal , Selim Lemouchi, Cliff Burton , Per Ohlin , Lemmy etc ... ; ALL waiting for you up in the sky to tell you that " God " was in fact a solid rock band and you´ve just bought the ticket to go watch it ,since you missed it all by worshipping "Little Riding Hood"s and similar kiddy stuff all your life.
\m/ OLD SCHOOL DEATH METAL IS THE BEST !!
lololol
Indeed!
:Pandemic: i'm right there with you brother!!
Nowadays its too fucking fast and you can't understand what the hell they are saying
Another group I want to here is Meliah Rage
amazing song, amazing album, amazing band, those guys play a simple, straight, brutal and true metal! the new generation should be learn more of that stuff!
Slowly we rot. Thats a fact.
This song is so good it gives me chills up my spine
Gotta admit, that is a brutal groove they have going in this song. And love how the tempo picks up and changes just after the guitar solo.
I remember when this came out, back then word of new bands was mostly by word of mouth from your friends. Kinda freaky to think how long ago it was and is called old skool death metal now. Oh well, good music is timeless.
Back then I always discovered new bands through Hit Parader, Circus and RIP Magazine
"Brutal groove" is probably the best description I've ever heard of this song :)
I wish the whole song could be of that first riff
+Bailey Martin Are you implying the rest of the song is crap?
Jason Doran Of course not. The beginning riff is just fucking slow and heavy.
+Bailey Martin then it would have become a freaking doom metal song, this isn't doom metal, is DEATH METAL
+Bailey Martin probably would've been considered more death doomish if it was just that riff.
Yeah because the rest of the song is just insanely fast, right?
I often listen to Obituary, and when I do so do my neighbors!🤘
I do too. Then I crank some GG ALLIN to piss them off lol!
Listened to it on a Walkman,back in the day..... turned it up to 11...., sorta def now! Worth it!
No matter how much I listen to it, it still goves me chills!
AWESOME!!!
RIP FRANK WATKINS
frank didn't play on this album.
hate he passed.
yes man we miss him! and Nik Meza too!💀
+Rolando Mendoza What about Lemmy??
uncle fester Nick Menza too...
hail frank hail gorgoroth \m/
More than 30 years ago passed away since its release and still one of the bad-ass death metal albums!
Damn this is evergreen...I was a teenager when I bought this album and now at 50 is still enjoying this shit
Any Metal Head from back in the day will know how this song just took the mosh pit to the next level!Fucken Legendary!!!\m/!!
This was great so many years a go, and its great now!
Them guys simply kick aaaassss!
Sounds just like a horror movie would in music form, fucking awesome!
Pinhead Larry metal music is supposed to sound like a horror movie
well yea I mean you cant really have a good image of a zombie rape while listening to power metal as much, but yeh, thanx for the correction
Can I have my movies in action _and_ horror?
I feel the same way with Baphomet's The dead shall inherit
Wrong Turn or The Hills Have Eyes
Seen these guys,many many times, each time the show and, the pit topped the show before, Frikin Awesome
The Celtic Frost influence is really obvious on this album.
Weaboo
John Tardy is wearing a Celtic Frost t shirt for the inlay of this album. (Laughter)
Kyle McDaniel good because Celtic Frost is awesome!!!! \m/
Yes, speccially the beggining of the song.
No doubt
I saw these guys play in Manchester a few weeks ago. They rocked as hard as they did back when I saw then in 1990!
Hmmmmmmmm some reason, i like listening to this song, while playing DOOM. For some reason they both go hand and hand to me
Fuck. Yes.
nekrorekordz fuck yeah zandronum
nekrorekordz
I was just thinking the same damn thing earlier today!
nekrorekordz Early 90's nostalgia?
Michael Parish lol a little bit. DOOM is one of my all time favorite games, and obituary is my favorite death metal band
RIP to the great Frank Watkins! \m/ love his work and i will be cranking these for a while yet
+NZMetalTrucker666 Frank didn't actually play bass on the first album, Daniel Tucker did.
Man, what a amazing album, I still own this on cassette, miss the80's and 90's, so many awesome band in those era's.
You were on Dark Funeral Eternal Eclipse Video
this music is very relaxing and soothing .. i love it , soo heavy and easy going ahh makes my head ache less worse
I'm 38 y.o and still love this song!! ❤
At 50 ,it still never gets old
50 and still one of my favorite songs
So proud to have this band on my skin ;)
i like old school DM, it is straight forward. Blood, Blood are everywhere!
Daniel Tsui meat and potatoes metal
You better not mention blood you wouldn't want donald trump to cry like a little bitch 😅
Fuck yeah. With a shit load of Beer, Weed, and Sex
Yeah back in the days it was weed, hookers, pointy guitars and gore that's how true TM and DM is.
My father was one of the coolest- he knew i was into some shitty music and artwork- so he brought me an obituary t shirt- the one and only time in my life when i first had the t-shirt and then the chance to check em out...
Gotta pay my respect to the old school. Still love my deathcore, and newer death metal, but Obituary is the shit.
everyone has their own preferences in music, and trying to convince a person who did not even try to delve into the essence of the death metal genre of the 80-90s, and expressed his opinion after hearing just one obitary song, is a pointless thing
I saw them live in bogota in 2012 and they played this song such a classic
ONE OF THE BEST\,,,/
Definitely my favorite progressive blackened sludge doomcore of all time, excluding Nirvana
👍👍👍
Vandal King umm what about Hall and Oates?
💀💀💀
My favorite blackened vegan proto-green post-grungecore viking pornogrind rap band is the Police.
its death metal dumbass
Jara mnie powolny proces
gnicia jak Obituary
This should of been my wedding song
funny...
Have****
Saw them live when I was in high school in Ybor. One of my best high school memories. Killer album.
I was there.
Con sólo pensar que veré esto en diciembre me mantiene feliz todo el día *.*
One of the best Album covers ever! 🤘🏼
Obituary Slowly We Rot is fucking classic
YES I'M IN MY 50'S now and slowly I rot 🤘😎🤘
GENIUS, OLD SCHOOL FLORIDA DEATH METAL WITH AN AWESOME GROOVE/ TARDY BEST DEATH METAL VOCALIST*
What a fantastic tune!!!!!!!best album
The intro guitar work on this track makes me feel as if the flesh on my face is going to melt off.
AWESOME.
This is an interesting twist on a classic. The added flair (breaks, leads, and solos) reanimates this song.
The album that opened my eyes for real old school death.
Bought this when it came out...this was pretty brutal shit back then. I was a hardcore kid but always like these guys, Death, Exodus, etc.
This song is most definitely ny favorite obituary song, and on top of that it's one of, if not my favorite death metal songs of all time.
Very nice bit of country twang to start the day
this is what was so good about the 80s-90s great music and now look what bands have been showing up since the mid 21st century :(
+Andrew Kang theres still lots of great metal bands that have shown up in the last 10-15 years
That is true actually band with members that take these subgenres seriously
there's good bands now, like Tame Impala, it's not metal but sounds really good
sickest intro riff ever, should be its own song just that riff, supreme sludge metal
The guttural voice has an scale: The John Tardy Scale, the most guttural voice in humandkind history
One of the greatest of all time 🕸🎩💪👍🖤🤘🤘🤘🕷🦇💪
this is how death metal should sound like, imo
I know right modern brutal death metal bands fucking suck
terrible toute ma jeunesse. du pur métal lourd rapide tout les tempos y sont
Fuckin love John Tardy.
this has got to be one of the best DM songs...
The official theme for COVID-19.
Wasted Youths You are so damn right.
Jajaja XD
Cause of death and infected are also good obituary songs for COVID-19
Heh nice
And in General
Still have this on vinyl.
We dwell to rot slowly
Seen them at wilmets park 91 or 93 to old to remember going to see them soon in Louisville kt
My Husband said he’s going to put this song on a loop for me in my coffin when I die!🤣🤣🤘🏼

I was so young when this album was released. Like, not even 20. Fuck. I'm old as hell.
the opening riff makes me think of some good ol' Black Sabbath
Celtic Frost
i love the intro it sounds awsome
@Disingenuous White-Boy He's not wrong. It's pretty doomy
Celtic frost also has its doomy moment's
I love the covers of 80's death metal bands as they always had covers that looked like scenes from an 80's B movie horror film.
one of the best Metalcore bands of all time hands down!!!!
Nice b8 m8
Metalcore? WTF? This is Death Fuckin' Metal!
Van Wilder stop feeding the troll.. geez.. so fucking easy to detect those nowadays.
Tell me about it.
DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEEEEEEEATH!
Dude , I begun listening to this before the bassist who recorded these bass parts disappeared from the face of earth before even having recorded them ...this was the year for Death Metal ...all raw and brutal , just the kick in the arse the deteriorating Thrash scene was needing back then .
Obituary are amazing!! hellyeah!
Crust sound guitar.Just marvelous.
The roots of death metal....
My all time FAVORITE DEATH METAL SONG....WITH OUT A DOUBT....SO F*CKING HEAVY !!!
I love death metal....(y)

nothing wrong with deathcore mate
I was sixteen when this album came out. Still the best after all these years
amazing song
I've probably posted on this video before, but that's OK. Let me just say..... YES! Damn, gotta luv it!
I love this band, living in Tampa I am able to meet alot of the big Death metal bands like Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, and Morbid Angel!
This song live is a real boogie woogie lemme tell ya 💃🏿 saw these guys at a small venue with no stage. Oh my we got sweaty, lads. Florida Man For President.
