Each Death album was a landmark event for metal, and an opportunity for Chuck Schuldiner to evolve his heavy vision. Yet while the group’s founding guitarist-vocalist was once again the prime catalyst behind the prog-crushed Individual Thought Patterns, the album is undoubtedly a team effort. Released in 1993, it’s the only Death record to surround Schuldiner with precision skin-pounder Gene Hoglan, fretless basswonder Steve Di Giorgio and King Diamond shredder Andy LaRocque. Simultaneously cerebral and brutal, and featuring their iconically mind-expanding “The Philosopher,” Death’s fifth album can now be spun on entrancing “Pink, White and Red Splatter” vinyl.
