Let's bring the party to the vast steppe lands of The Horde, and what better place to start than the fathers themselves, Death:

1. Leprosy
2. Spiritual Healing
3. Human
4. Individual Thought Patterns
5. Symbolic
6. Scream Bloody Gore
7. The Sound of Perseverance

I'm at no risk of stirring any waters by describing this discography as absolutely incredible, and suggesting that no particular ordering would feel out of place, am I?

I haven't listened to Spiritual Healing for a while, but I think my Death list would be as follows. They're all at least 4 stars though, with Human and Symbolic being top tier for me.


01. Human

02. Symbolic

03. Individual Thought Patterns

04. Leprosy

05. Spiritual Healing
