Additional info
Recorded and mixed at Harrow Studios, Holland 1992 - all bass parts played by Ron Van Pol.Martin Van Drunen recorded the vocals alone in the studio without realizing he was already booted from the band. The vocals were intended to be recorded by Ron Van Pol. However the other members of Asphyx thought the vocal track was fine with Martin singing so it was kept (the lyrics to be sung by Van Pol were yet to be written so Van Drunen's lyrics were kept as well).

Last One on Earth is a "krushing" release, simply put. That meaty Asphyx logo on the cover should be developed into one single iron brand; to be rightfully stamped onto the center of each and every death-doom metal release's jewel case (preferably stamped on by the pupil-less "last one on earth" himself). It would be an appropriate way to remind listeners of the origin of the definitive death-doom metal tone. Read more ›› |

At first I thought this was awesome, but now... it's a good album but its greatness wears off quickly...

Last One On Earth...Dear fucking lord, that main riff is heavy is enough to rip apart spacetime.

Nah, I think the sound of this one is fucking savage as it is. Check out The Rack, now THAT's raw. The debut should have been a bit more polished like this one. Both are great albums though.

Very powerful death metal! The apocalyptic lyrics on the title track are amazing and the low-tone heavy riffs create a great atmosphere throughout the album! I first wasn't sure if I'd like the vocals, but they've grown on me. In fact, they sound a lot like Chuck Schuldiner's vocals on Scream Bloody Gore with this sickened quality rather than the typical monotonous deep voice of other OSDM. My favorite tracks are Last One on Earth, Asphyx (Forgotten War), and M.S. Bismarck

A definite death metal classic. After already great debut the band took a massive leap forward with this one. Everything's even better here, beginning from the songwriting, heavy as balls guitar tone and the overall production quality. This is such a great fun to listen to anytime and anywhere.

Listening now. Love the Chuck/Tardy vocals. Production is unique. The sound is heavy/muddy with some buzzier guitar tone than normal, but I do love how heavy it sounds.

Dude... This album rules. The vocals, drumming, production are everything I want in a death metal album. Fast parts with lots of energy and slow parts with tons of groove. Damn. I'm going to be re-listening to this all weekend. It takes a lot for a death metal album to click with me this well.

This and The Rack are decent enough but they can’t stand to Asphyx’s true crowning achievements Death… The Brutal Way and Deathhammer.

This always reminds me of "Last One On Earth" - one of my favorite Asphyx tracks ever.
