Supernatural Addiction is the fourth studio album by the thrash metal/death metal band Deceased. It was their last full-length album on Relapse Records.
Production The album was produced by Simon Efemey. Each song was inspired by a different horror tale, movie, or show.
Critical reception AllMusic wrote that Deceased "temper their death-metal fury with a love for old-school thrash, which actually works well for them, keeping the music from getting too cartoonish." CMJ New Music Report wrote that "[King] Fowley proudly and loudly prefers the glory days of superfast metal, when patches on acid-washed denim jackets reigned supreme and there was no rap or glam in sight."
