Press release:
Upon switching their name from Xecutioner to Obituary, the career of one of the most successful and influential death metal bands began.

Following on from a career spanning 20+ years and 7 crushing studio albums, Obituary are back with their newest offering, Darkest Day. Signature in every way, Darkest Day shows that this band truly gets better with age and these Tampa legends are here to prove that their work ethic and credo continues un-wavered, unmatched and truly inspirational!

A truly influential band who have pioneered the genre, Obituary are returning to Australia for a headline tour this November.

Featuring a full touring line up consisting of metal legends John Tardy (Vocals), Donald Tardy (Drums), Trevor Peres (Lead Guitar), Ralph Santolla (Rhythm Guitar) and Frank Watkins (Bass), Obituary will be playing tracks from Darkest Day as well as highlights from their celebrated back catalogue.

“…this is death metal done right by a band that helped put the genre on the map in the first place!” – Blunt Magazine

“Obituary bring some old-fashioned – not to mention much-needed – unpretentiousness to death metal” – Drum Media

“(Santolla’s)… solos alone are worth the price of admission for this monster”
– Rave Magazine
