Since I've been slacking (again) lately, I've decided to post some truly remarkable death metal, and Ripping Corpse just fit that description. Ripping Corpse were active in the late 80s and early 90s. They were a prominent band and had an excellent lineup, but they split up in 1992 and the members went on to join or create other bands (Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal, and Dim Mak). They're most widely known for their death metal classic Dreaming With The Dead, which is one of my choice albums when it comes to traditional death metal. It sounds harsh, and the noticeable influence of thrash metal is still there. It's atmosphere is evil and captivating, it's like how today's 'old school' death bands would want to sound like. Ripping Corpse also started recording an album in 1992, but was left unfinished when the band called it's quits. There is a bootlegged version of this album, which is quite obscure and highly acclaimed. It has no vocals, but everything else is in place. It's included in the second archive, along with the 1992 promo, which is also very good.
