DEATH ‘INDIVIDUAL THOUGHT PATTERNS’ LP

LABEL: Relapse
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 2021
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 1993
VARIANT: Black Vinyl LP

Deaths fifth frenetic and feverishly-inspired full-length once again pushed founder Chuck Schuldiners vision to the extreme. Despite that album title, though, 1993s Individual Thought Patterns is a true team effort, with the release also expertly incorporating the melodic and maleficent flair of King Diamond shredder Andy LaRocque, the slip-sliding jazz-death slinkiness of bassist Steve Di Giorgio and the kit-wrecking aplomb of master drummer Gene Hoglan. Its an album full of brutal progressive weirdness, but it also got an unexpected mainstream bump when Beavis and Butthead spotlighted closing crusher The Philosopher on MTV.
