Artist: NECROPHAGIST
Album: ONSET OF PUTREFACTION RE-ISSUE (CD)

Year: 1999/ 2005
Media type: CD

One of the greatest technical death metal albums finally available again! Includes new artwork/layout, all new mix and master, new drum tracks and 2 bonus tracks! European only release through Relapse.

The 2005 re-release of Onset of Putrefaction is a remixed, resampled and remastered edition, including vastly improved drum samples used by the drum machine (with the help of newly recruited drummer Hannes) compared with the 1999 release of the album. It features two bonus tracks from their 1995 demo tape, which were also remastered.

Surprisingly, the band decided not try to get the loudest (see loudness war) disc possible for the remaster. Instead they asked their mastering engineer to leave in some dynamic range and not to cause undue distortion in a quest for loudness. As a result, the record's sonic qualities are appreciably better then most metal records released today.
