Onset of Putrefaction is the debut album by the German technical death metal band Necrophagist. It was recorded almost solely by the band's founder, guitarist and vocalist Muhammed Suiçmez. He recorded all the vocal tracks and programmed the drum tracks with the help of a computer. The bass and guitar tracks were mostly recorded by him, with a few ones being recorded by former Necrophagist members - Jochen Bittmann recorded a few bass tracks, and Bjoern Vollmer recorded a few parts of Extreme Unction's guitar solo.

There were a lot of problems with the label which published this album, which is the reason why copies of it are more or less scarce nowadays. This ultimately lead to the 2004 re-release of this album.

The 2004 re-release of Onset of Putrefaction is is a remixed, resampled and remastered edition, including vastly improved drum samples used by the drum machine (with the help of newly recruited drummer Hannes) compared with the 1999 release of the album. It features two bonus tracks from their 1995 demo tape, which were also remastered.
