World Demise is the fourth album by American death metal band Obituary. It was released on September 6, 1994. A music video was made for the track "Don't Care".
Production
[edit]Of note, World Demise was the last album recorded with long-time producer Scott Burns[3] until Frozen in Time.
Musical style
[edit]While remaining, at the core, a death metal band, there's definite changes in Obituary's overall sound. World Demise has, in general, a slower pace and more groove-oriented beats. The band also increased the use of sampling.[4][5][3]
