Morrisound Recording Studio is the Tampa, Florida bunker that gave extreme metal a real, professional punch in the gut. Opened in 1981 by Jim and Tom Morris, it became the late-80s to mid-90s address I kept spotting in liner notes: Death (1988-1991), Obituary (1989-1992), Morbid Angel (1989-1993), Deicide (1990-1992), Cannibal Corpse (1990-1992) and a swarm of others. Even Sepultura leveled up here, mixing "Beneath the Remains" in early 1989 and tracking "Arise" in 1991. If you wanted drums to hit like a wrecking ball and guitars to saw through smoke, you booked Morrisound and stopped pretending. Yes, it is "just a studio" - and Tampa became a death-metal capital because of rooms like this.
