Pure, dreckige Death-Metal-Perfektion! Das klassische Debütalbum von Pungent Stench aus dem Jahr 1990, neu gemastert! Das Jahr 1990 war der Moment, in dem Death Metal wirklich explodierte.

"For God Your Soul... For Me Your Flesh" is a seminal death metal CD by the Austrian band Pungent Stench, originally released in the early 1990s and considered one of the genre's most extreme and uncompromising statements. On this album, the band fuses brutal riffing, relentless drumming and cavernous vocals with a twisted sense of groove, creating songs that are as memorable as they are savage. The production captures a raw, organic sound that emphasizes heaviness and atmosphere rather than polish, making it especially appealing to fans of early European death metal. Lyrically, the record dives into morbid, taboo and grotesque themes, which, combined with its striking artwork, has helped secure its reputation as a cult classic for collectors and genre connoisseurs.
Pungent Stench are regarded as one of Austria's pioneering extreme metal bands and an influential name in the old-school death metal underground. Emerging at the end of the 1980s, they quickly stood out through their mix of brutality, dark humour and disturbing imagery, carving out a distinct identity in a crowded scene. Over the years, their work--particularly "For God Your Soul... For Me Your Flesh"--has gained lasting recognition, often cited by fans and musicians as a reference point for filthy, riff-driven death metal with character.
