This remaster comes with three CDs – a remastered version of the album, a ten track CD of demos and rehearsal material, and a fifteen track CD of previously unreleased live tracks. Not only that, but there are hints at the progressive and technical mastery that would follow on later albums. It moved things up a gear and added stronger song writing and more serious subject matter to the brutality and rawness of the first Death album, Scream Bloody Gore. Hopefully you don’t need me to tell you that Leprosy is a classic death metal album – hell, this album pretty much set the blue print for death metal as a genre. Relapse Record’s impressive re-issues of the Death catalog continues with this three-disc version of 1988’s Leprosy – the band’s titanic second album.
