Obituary - Pionir death metal

Formed in 1985 as Xecutioner (hence the name of their 2007
album, Xecutioner's Return),
Obituary is one of the leading bands of the then-rampant Florida
death metal scene of the late eighties (along with
Death,
Morbid Angel,
Deicide,
and others) and has carved a successful career for themselves
playing brutal, old-school death metal.
After a string of successful albums in the nineties, they announced
their breakup in 2000, with John Tardy's
disinterest in touring apparently a major factor.
Trevor Peres soon started up a new band,
Catastrophic,
while Donald Tardy joined Andrew WK's band some time later.
But as of early 2004 the band was back in business, and their first
studio album in eight years, Frozen In Time, has since been released,
followed by the aforementioned Return two years later.
