all their albums are so different........
my fav is scream bloody gore.....its more primitive and not as musically adept as the other albums....BUT THE SONGS! they are so good, so memorable.
but for the first time buyer...... for the true essence of death, i would say leprosy.......and youre more into powermetal, then i recommend symbolic. still deathmetal, very musical.
sound of perseverance.....some people couldnt stomach the vocals on that album; painkiller was an awesome cover though.
