Slowly We Rot is the debut studio album by Florida death metal band Obituary, released in 1989 through Roadrunner Records.
It is the only Obituary release to feature bassist Daniel Tucker. Lead guitarist Allen West would leave soon after but returned for the third album, The End Complete (1992). It was re-released on January 27, 1997, by Roadrunner Records with remastered audio and liner notes. Despite being recorded in standard tuning and with Fender Stratocasters, it is considered to be one of the band's heavier efforts. The remainder of the band's output has been recorded in D tuning. A live version of the album Slowly We Rot: Live & Rotting was recorded in October 2020 and released in August 2022 by Relapse Records.
Slowly We Rot remains a staple essential album of both death metal and the band's discography.
