Scream Bloody Gore is the debut studio album by American death metal band Death, released on May 25, 1987, by Combat Records.[1] It is considered by many to be "the first true death metal record".[2][3] Chuck Schuldiner, the band’s founder and leader, performed guitar, bass and vocals, and composed all tracks on the album.[4]
John Hand is noted in the album's credits as playing rhythm guitar, though this was incorrect and Hand was only in the band for a short period and never performed or recorded on the album.[5] This is also the only Death album to feature drummer Chris Reifert, who had joined for the Mutilation demo, and the only one of the band's albums to not be recorded at Morrisound Recording.[6]
Perseverance Holdings, Ltd. and Relapse Records reissued the album on May 20, 2016, on CD, vinyl, and cassette.[7] The album was remastered for this release, and also included the original Florida session as well as recordings of rehearsals performed in 1986.
