Release Notes:
SUPPORT LATEST LAME !!
Possessed and Death may have brought death metal to life, but Obituary brought
it to fruition. After releasing some demos as Xecutioner as far back as 1986,
the five-man band debuted as Obituary in 1989 with Slowly We Rot, and in a word,
the album was landmark. The previous forays into what would quickly become
tagged as death metal -- primarily by the above-mentioned bands, Possessed and
Death, along with grindcore innovators Repulsion and Napalm Death -- were
exercises in relentlessness. These bands took the breakneck abandon of Slayer's
Reign in Blood one step further, to the point of sheer, sometimes even
ridiculous musical abandon. Obituary, on the other hand, varied their tempo
considerably -- and did so at the absolute height of speed metal nonetheless.
Yes, the band could play at breakneck speed, but within the same song,
guitarists Allen West and Trevor Peres could slow the tempo down to dirge-like
levels in a moment's notice, all the while keeping the music as heavy as hell
thanks to down-tuned guitars and the snarling vocals of John Tardy. As a result,
Slowly We Rot made quite a splash back in 1989, influencing an entire legion of
death metal bands in Florida: Morbid Angel, Deicide, Malevolent Creation,
Cannibal Corpse, and numerous others now forgotten among the thousands of
international bands that followed. In a way, Slowly We Rot was the prototypical
death metal album, establishing a template that would come to define the style
(one that is distinct from grindcore or black metal, it should be pointed out).
A few albums followed -- Cause of Death (1990) and The End Complete (1992), both
also very influential -- but by the mid-'90s Obituary had run their course and
the band splintered, reuniting now and then. Yet even as the bandmembers went
their separate ways (most notably West going on to much success as the guitarist
of Six Feet Under), Obituary continued to stand tall as one of the definitive
death metal bands, if not the definitive (a distinction that probably goes to
Death, whose James Murphy actually was a bandmember for a while).
A long period without recording was ended in 2005 when the band released Frozen
in Time. Although Xecutioners Return followed just two years later, it appeared
on a different label (Candlelight instead of the band's perennial Roadrunner)
and it was recorded without guitarist West (whose alcohol and drug problems led
to his being replaced by Ralph Santolla of Millenium and Deicide fame). Darkest
Day followed in 2009, also on Candlelight. Both Santolla and longtime bassist
Frank Watkins left not long after, and in 2014 the band released its
crowd-funded ninth album, Inked in Blood. It was the first Obituary album to
feature Kenny Andrews on lead guitar and Terry Butler on bass. The album
performed surprisingly well on the charts, resulting in Obituary's first
appearance on the U.S. album charts.
