Scream Bloody Gore — 1987

A foundational death-metal landmark, raw and pioneering. Brutal and historic. The genre's debut statement. Their best-placed record on our lists, and a genuine essential.

On vinyl: '80s originals are plentiful and usually affordable; reissues tend to be cleaner but pricier.
