Morrisound Recording – the studio where producer Scott Burns recorded classics from Death, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Sepultura, and more – has been awarded a Historical Marker by Hillsborough County in Florida. To celebrate (and to raise funds toward the cost of the Historic Marker Plaque), Morrisound has launched a t-shirt with their old-school logo and a list of the best-selling death metal albums recorded within their walls right here. It's an awesome shirt.
Congratulations to Morrisound Recording and to Scott Burns! You all deserve it. If you're unfamiliar with the history of Morrisound Recording, Decibel has a very good book on it that you should read.
"We are pleased to announce that Hillsborough County has awarded Morrisound Recording, Inc. a Historical Marker to honor the contributions that were made to the music industry by Morrisound and its staff, especially in the field of extreme metal production," wrote the studio.
"The marker will be placed at the site of our earlier studios on 56th St. in Temple Terrace, the site of some of the most well-known extreme metal recordings during the 1980’s and 90’s. The photo below shows our staff in 1992, which includes nearly everyone that worked on those records.
"To celebrate this recognition, we have designed a special T-shirt featuring our vintage logo from the 1980’s and 90’s across the front, and on the back, a tour-style listing of the top 20 all-time best selling* Death Metal albums produced at Morrisound Recording. This limited-edition T-shirt is available only through our web site – www.Morrisound.com. Click on the 'Merch' tab. Proceeds from the sale of this shirt will go toward the cost of the Historic Marker Plaque.
"* These 20 albums are from the top selling 23 Death Metal albums of all time based on data from Soundscan."
