Obituary reunion!
Sunday 18 January 2004
Obituary Back From The Dead.....Again.
Mail this article to a friend!
Legendary Florida death metallers OBITUARY are in the process of reforming with a view towards releasing a new CD in late 2004 or early 2005. "`Drummer` Donald `Tardy`, `guitarist` Allen `West` and I have been working on some new stuff and are thinking about a new album," according to singer John Tardy. "We are just getting started and I know `Donald` has talked to `ex-OBITUARY guitarist` Trevor `Peres` about it, too. Right now we have no timeline or record deal set up, but we are writing songs. If all goes well, `the reunion` would be with all 'original' members `John, Donald, Allen, Trevor and bassist Frank Watkins`."
Although the reformed OBITUARY would likely perform select live shows before and after the recording of a new studio album, there is no truth to the reports that the band will make an appearance at the Sun N' Steel festival in Tampa in early March. "I don't know anything about a Sun N' Steel show...never heard of it," John said.
Formed in 1984 as EXECUTIONER (later shortened to XECUTIONER), OBITUARY are widely considered to be one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands in the death metal genre. After releasing several successful albums in the late Eighties/early Nineties (including the classic 1989 debut "Slowly We Rot" and its equally punishing 1990 follow-up, "Cause of Death") , the band announced their breakup, with John Tardy's disinterest in touring apparently a major factor. Trevor Peres has since started CATASTROPHIC, while Donald Tardy joined Andrew W.K.'s band some time ago.

Donald Tardy drummed for Andrew WK? That's the most depressing thing I've heard for a long, long while.

Fuck yeah, Obituary is back. Hopefully Trevor starts turning down his guitars to B or A and the bands starts making some fast shit because I'm tired of Obituary being slow practically all the time.

Somebody has decapitated an innocent rabbit, can Abbath solve this crime before more innocent bunnies are hurt?

...and then they wouldnt sound like Obituary, you fucking queer. The whole appeal of Obituary is that no one sounds like them. They are the furthest thing from influential. No one copied them, no one WANTED to copy. Simple, mid paced songs with basic scale runs for solos.

Actually I was being exagerrated and sarcastic because all these bands reuniting are all trying to follow the game of brutal death metal by tuning their guitars so low. But what I really meant is that they should at least speed up a little more because they seem too slow on almost every song.

I dont know too much about Obituary. I just know that the first time I heard the Back From the Dead cd I was hooked. The only thing I knew was that their Guitarist used to play in Six Feet Under which is another badass group.
