"The Dead Shall Inherit" is the legendary debut album by Baphomet, released in 1992 and now available on CD from Peaceville. This classic record stands as a milestone of early American death metal, renowned for its crushing riffs, guttural vocals, and relentless intensity. The album delivers an uncompromising blend of heaviness and groove that has influenced countless bands within the genre. With tracks like "Through Deviant Eyes" and "Valley of the Dead," Baphomet showcases their raw power and technical prowess.
Baphomet emerged from Buffalo, New York's underground scene in the late 1980s. Their unique approach to death metal?combining brutal rhythms with memorable hooks?quickly set them apart. Though their career was brief under this name (later changing to Banished), "The Dead Shall Inherit" remains a cult favorite among fans worldwide.
