Obituary is a death metal band hailing from Tampa, Florida. Originally formed in 1985 as *Xecutioner*, the band later changed their name to *Executioner* before finally settling on Obituary just before the release of their debut album in 1989. After disbanding in 1997, they made a comeback in 2005 and have since been actively touring and releasing new material.
With their brutal sound and intense lyrics, Obituary has become one of the most influential bands in the death metal genre. Their music is characterized by heavy guitar riffs, guttural vocals, and relentless drumming that create an atmosphere of darkness and aggression.
Similar to other iconic death metal acts like Deicide, Malevolent Creation, and Morbid Angel, Obituary's music pushes boundaries and explores themes of mortality, violence, and despair. Their discography includes acclaimed albums such as "Slowly We Rot" (1989), "Cause of Death" (1990), and "Frozen in Time" (2005).

2017 release from the death metal marauders. Obituary return with their self-titled, 10th studio album, further cementing their legacy as one of the most important metal bands of all time! Picking up where 2014's Inked In Blood left off, Obituary show no signs of slowing down as they continue to reign as Kings of death metal. Recorded at their home studio in Tampa, FL, Obituary is a 10 track tour-de-force of bone-pulverizing death metal that is as heavy, uncompromising and infectious as anything they've released in their historic, nearly 30-year career! Obituary are: John Tardy - vocals, Trevor Peres - guitar, Kenny Andrews - guitar, Terry Butler - bass, Donald Tardy - drums.
