Why you gotta bring up old shit??? Back in the mid-90s when I was a JV league metalhead, we used to smoke the devil’s lettuce and listen to devil music in my friend Larry’s van. Nowadays I’d rather build muscle than burn out brain cells, but I still love old school death metal.

Last Friday I got to see the Inked In Steel tour with Carcass, Macabre, Exhumed and new jack grid band Noisem. In honor of crossing a few great old school bands off the “see ’em live” list, here’s eight 90s death metal songs to help get your lift on.

Carcass – “Ruptured In Purulence”
Macabre – “Serial Killer”
Exhumed – “Limb From Limb”
Obituary – “Slowly We Rot”
Suffocation – “Human Waste”
Napalm Death – “Suffer The Children”
Mortician – “Hacked Up For Barbecue”
Cryptopsy – “Defenestration”
