      Cause Of Death was a huge musical advancement on Obituary's debut Slowly We Rot. Musically it was more sophisticated with cleverly paced songs shifting from heavy, doom crawls, to rapid thrash-outs. Obituary also attempted to create a cohesive album by overlaying atmospheric soundscapes over the end and start of songs.

      However, the high point of the album is James Murphy's outstanding lead work. Murphy sets the tone on Infected, the album's opening track, which begins with an incredible solo. His playing throughout is riven with emotion, feeling and thought. It gives the album a depth missing from many other death metal LPs.

      The production does date the record, with the bass sounding rather flat. However, that is the only criticism of a key record by one of the genre's key bands.
