The fans do want OBITUARY, well they do get OBITUARY! This sentence actually says it all. The trademark sound of the Death Metal institution from Florida plays with the same ingredients as they always do. But there is a type of art, only the Tardy brothers and their crew are able to accomplish. Their music […]
“Dying Of Everything” is the eleventh full-length album recorded by the legendary Death Metal band OBITUARY. It follows their self-titled album released in 2017 by the Floridian quintet headed by the Tardy brothers. Here we have a pretty good and honest example of old school American Death Metal in the classic OBITUARY style. Here we […]
There are two irrefutable facts about OBITUARY. First: when OBITUARY is on it, OBITUARY is in it! Second: there is no bad OBITUARY album, only brilliant, very good and good ones! “Dying Of Everything” is one of the brilliant ones, because here the band reaches a level that almost approaches their classics. Okay, “Slowly We […]
OBITUARY’s Gibsonton (also known as Gibtown) in Florida is a town where the freak show from the circus settled down for retirement… Lobster Boy being one of them. Eight-foot tall Al Tomaini and his two-foot wife Jeanie also lived there. So it’s not difficult to imagine that an ass-kicking, redneck band of freaks in their […]
OBITUARY is one of those Death Metal legends whose early releases helped shape the fledgling genre and take it into darker, more extreme realms. The Tardy brother’s unique combination aligned with the tormented bass lines of Terry Butler was the inspiration for a generation of Death Metal and their legacy is, of course, of great […]
There was a time when Metal fans were buying albums just for their cover art. Yes, more than once that Metalhead was disappointed with an album of killer art and crap music, but then again there was some charm in doing it that way. There were some few magazines covering the extreme forms of Metal […]
Formed in 2015 (after disbanding the more atmospheric Black Metal band SOLUS) and with just one band member that takes care of all instruments, this debut album is without a doubt one of the best albums I have heard from a one man band. To start with, their music style is a brutish mix of […]
Atmospheric progressive technical Death Metal is both a mouthful and an earful. However, San Diego based CONJURETH summon the best of all the mentioned aspects to craft “The Parasitic Chambers”. There is actually quite a lot that’s happening on this album and it is easy to lose track of the incredible musicianship. Purified in the […]
Barcelona is the home of the already long running Metal act ICESTORM. “The Northern Crusades” is their fourth album to date and the first one I ever took notice of. It tells the story of the knights of the Teutonic Order that were a mighty Christian warrior order in the twelfth and thirteenth century. So […]
“Helionomicon” is the other record released by ULTHAR this same year, yet it also feels more like something to complement, that does not derives far away from the other release. Now, while the other had eight songs in your average five minutes length, this one only has two and both at the twenty minutes mark. […]
