November 19, 2008

Vocalist John Tardy of the Florida-based death metal band OBITUARY has issued the following update:

"We did not play a show in Tampa, or in Florida for that matter, on our last U.S. tour, but we have one set up now! We will be playing at the Crowbar in Ybor City on Friday, December 19! We really had a great show the last time we played there and we are looking forward to doing another one!!!

"We have just been locked in the studio and working on a new OBITUARY album and finishing up the TARDY BROTHERS project [collaboration between John and Donald Tardy]. Both are coming along great!!! I will keep you updated with both of these as we get further along.

"We have some give-aways planned for this Tampa show and as always we will be around for autographs!!! I hope to see you all out at the Crowbar on the 19th!!!!"

OBITUARY recently released the "Left To Die" EP via Candlelight Records. The CD contains four songs: two new originals, a new 2008 studio recording of "Slowly We Rot", and a cover of "Dethroned Emperior" by CELTIC FROST. The EP also includes the band's popular "Evil Ways" video.

OBITUARY's latest album, "Xecutioner's Return", was released in the summer of 2007 via Candlelight Records. The CD was mixed at RedRoom Recorders and was mastered in June at Morrisound Studios in Tampa. The band once again worked with artist Andreas Marschall, who has previously created the art for "The End Complete" and the group's last record, "Frozen in Time".
