Leprosy (album)

Uncommon card · No. 136375

Leprosy is the second studio album by American death metal band Death, released on August 12, 1988, by Combat Records. The album is notable in its different tone and quality from the band's debut album Scream Bloody Gore (1987), and is the first example of producer and engineer Scott Burns' work heard on many of the death metal and grindcore albums of that era. It is also the first Death album to feature drummer Bill Andrews, and is the band's only studio album to feature guitarist Rick Rozz. Shaun Lindsley of Metal Hammer said "with Scream Bloody Gore having set a new standard in extremity, [...] Leprosy would end up being the final nail in Death's thrash-tinged coffin." It is considered to be a groundbreaking achievement in the genre, and was voted the 64th best Hard Rock or Metal album of the 80s by Loudwire.
