Lp Vinyl reissue of American death metal band Death's landmark second album Leprosy.

Originally released in 1988 ‘Leprosy’ was a pioneering album, building upon the thrash sounds of Metallica and Slayer but adding a previously unheard level of raw extremity. These songs are the roots of an entire genre: death metal. While this was only the second record Death released, it immediately cemented them as heavy metal icons.

Meticulous care has been put into this reissue. The entire album has been painstakingly remastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Nile, etc).
