Obituary

Obituary is an American death metal band that has been a defining force in the genre since their inception in the late 1980s. Hailing from Tampa, Florida, a city often regarded as the cradle of death metal, they were formed in 1984 under the name Executioner, later changing it to Xecutioner, and finally to Obituary in 1988. The band is renowned for their uncompromising and brutal sound, featuring guttural vocals, heavy guitar riffs, and thunderous drumming, that have garnered them a loyal fanbase within the metal community.

The ensemble’s initial success was cemented with their debut album, "Slowly We Rot" (1989), which has since become a landmark release within the death metal scene. This success was followed by the critically acclaimed "Cause of Death" (1990). Over the years, Obituary has continued to release a consistent stream of intense albums, leading up to their latest, "Dying of Everything" (2023). Known for their relentless touring and ferocious live performances, the group remains an influential and active component in the world of extreme music. Even after decades, with the release of singles like "My Will to Live" and albums that continue to resonate with old and new fans alike, Obituary has maintained their status as one of the enduring acts and true pioneers of the death metal genre.
