Spiritual Healing is the third album by death metal band Death, released in February 1990. The title comes from the era when faith healer Peter Popoff was exposed on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson by James Randi as a fraud. This album is currently out of print. However, the band's two previous studio albums, Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy, are still in print, and are of the same label. This was also the first album to incorporate progressive metal elements due to more varied time signatures and longer song lengths.

The members of Death stayed in a single motel room at the Safari Inn, near Busch Gardens, for the entire six weeks the album was recorded and mixed, although bassist Terry Butler and drummer Bill Andrews frequently went home as they lived in the Tampa area. New guitarist James Murphy had his first taste of the strange in-humour of the other band members and their manager during all of this time confined to close quarters in the studio and motel.

Unlike the previous two efforts by the band, the lyrics are primarily concerned with social issues such as abortion, as opposed to the strictly violence-related content of both Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy.

This was the final Death album cover painted by Ed Repka, following the first two releases.

Manager Eric Greif played a Kawai K1 keyboard part that sounded like a church organ during a break in the middle of title track Spiritual Healing.

Chuck Schuldiner used the main riff of Legion Of Doom (from the demo Death by Metal) and implemented it in Spiritual Healing. (less info)
