Last One on Earth is the second studio album by Dutch death metal band Asphyx. It was released in 1992 by Century Media Records. The album was ranked the 15th greatest death metal album of the 1990s by Kerrang!, who commented, "The band’s use of calculated stomping rhythms makes the album creepy and agonising".

Background

Martin van Drunen recorded the vocals alone in the studio without realizing he was already booted from the band. The vocals were intended to be recorded by new bassist Ron van Pol. However, the other members of Asphyx thought the vocal tracks were fine with Martin singing so they were kept and the lyrics to be sung by van Pol were yet to be written so van Drunen's lyrics were kept as well.
