Their 1988 Capitol debut is a legendary Thrash/Speed Metal album, influencing bands like Toxic Holocaust and Goatwhore and motivated Ministry to progress from dance music to Metal! Ministry would, in turn, influence everything from Nine Inch Nails to Marilyn Manson and Slipknot. Rigor Mortis is mandatory listening! Review: We are pestilent and contaminate the world... - ...and make tombs of your cities! I got the Rigor Mortis self-titled album on cassette when it came out all those years ago and immediately fell in love with it. If you've never heard of Rigor Mortis and, moreover, have never heard this particular album, you owe it to yourself to give it a listen. What you'll find is a high speed horror-themed ride, where the talent level is high but the band's take-yourself-seriously meter is low. Fans of the grainy horror movies, such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Re-Animator will appreciate the sound bites included, not to mention the lyrical references to the same. While it sounds like all fun and games, let's be clear - Rigor Mortis are a seriously talented, tight unit who should have been so much more than they were in those days. Internal struggles, more than anything, killed the future of these guys who, otherwise, may be a household name in the genre of speedmetal. Things went downhill shortly afterward, and I would not recommend their last LP "Rigor Mortis vs. the Earth." But this little gem, the Rigor Mortis self-titled album, is one too good to pass up. If you haven't heard them - listen. If you don't like them, you're probably not a speedmetal fan to begin with. Review: An Undiscovered Speed Metal Treasure - If you were to bounce the name Rigor Mortis off of any fan of metal, he/she would probably ask u, "who the ---- is Rigor Mortis?" This cd is a classic. A true UNDISCOVERED classic, hence the complete independent release on cd (finally!). Mike Scaccia's guitar playing is unparallelled. Not only is his style fast, but it is concise and melodic (i.e. "Demons", "Wizard of Gore"). Bruce Corbitt's vocals, though not drylung, still present an angry and demented character. It's like watching a cool horror movie (specifically, the ORIGINAL Texas Chainsaw Massacre comes to mind). Casey Orr's bass fills in and compliments Mike Scaccia's guitar, throughout this offering. Orr also shares vocals (i.e. "Die In Pain"), and delivers the same impact as Corbitt. And what would Rigor Mortis be without the pounding rhythm of Harden Harrison? Frankly, I would place Harrison on the list of great drummers such as Dave Lombardo (SLAYER), Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX), and John Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN). He's that intense. This cd is a must for anybody that still enjoys the speed metal genre. It's not "satanic" by any means. It is a lost classic that made speed metal fun. It's like watching a classic, campy, horror flick: entertaining, but not so serious, as to be boring and pretentious. ..So uncork that beer/soda, throw this cd in your drive, and enjoy.. ## Images ![Rigor Mortis - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bT2pY-a9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are pestilent and contaminate the world... *by J***E on November 19, 2009* ...and make tombs of your cities!
