These aren't your typical death metal lyrics, especially from the early 90s. Later on in the album, the lyrics bring up abortion and mental illness. For example, the lyrics on Living Monstrosity talk about a baby being born addicted to cocaine and it being all fucked up looking. For a death metal album, they really can make you think. You know for sure which direction these lyrics will be headed.
Everything from the fanatic looking people, to the money in the preacher's pocket. Right away you know that this album is about. The first thing that grabs my attention is that amazing artwork. The more I listened to Spiritual Healing though, the more I appreciated it in all its forms. Listening to 'Scream Bloody Gore' for the first time, I didn't think they were capable of that. I like when a band talks about shit that's worth talking about. Death metal that is all about killing and torture gets boring to me. Personally, I enjoy lyrics that involve real world issues. This album was definitely a step in the right direction by the band for me. This gave me a chance to listen to their entire discography and pick out my favorite albums. I got into Death a lot later than most people. Originally a 1990 release, Spiritual Healing remains a critically-acclaimed, noteworthy album. Death – Spiritual Healing (reissue) A reissue usually ends as a buy for the die-hard fans, definitely a glimpse for timid metal fans and continue whatever you were doing if you don’t like metal.
