This album brings back fond memories when my brother bought this on tape in '88. At the time, we were into the Big 4 as well as Kreator, Testament and countless speed metal and metal bands and something about Death put them into our regular listening catalog to this day. I am most impressed with the quality sound of this album. It feels like someone painstakingly and methodically cleaned up each song to perfection. I listen to this in my car and I have a decent stereo and I crank it up and it just roars like an angry lion. It amazes me how young Chuck was at the time of this release, and as a self-taught musician to create a masterpiece like this is beyond comprehension. No wonder he is in the top 100 metal guitarists of all time, an icon, legend and the Godfather of Death Metal. Thank you Chuck for your brilliance. RIP.
