Origin is the debut studio album by death metal band Origin. The album has a rawer, more straightforward and more brutal sound than their more technical later albums. The album was the first death metal album released on a label to incorporate the use of gravity blasts, although their original drummer George Fluke used the gravity blast on their 1998 EP A Coming into Existence.
This is the band's only album without bassist Mike Flores, and their only album with bassist Doug Williams and singer Mark Manning.
