OBITUARY Completes Work On 'Left To Die' EP

June 16, 2008

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

"What a great weekend! We have been working really hard on this new EP [entitled 'Left to Die'] and Saturday night we finished it. I am totally psyched about this and can't wait to get it to you.

"I am not sure about the release date yet, but I'll post it as soon as I know. Once again, Mark Prator and RedRoom Recorders really helped us out to get this done. Markie, you rule...thanks for everything!!!

"Most of you probably know that we built our own studio for the recording of the 'Xecutioner's Return' CD. We tracked this new EP in our studio and are really happy with the sounds we are getting. Because of our limited, but growing, ProTools HD experience, we lean heavily on Mark for his guidence and help. We then take all those tracks to RedRoom where we put it all together. This process of being able to record right here in our own studio whenever we want has been an unbelievable asset to our writing and recording abilities!

"This EP will contain four songs: two new ones, that are heavy as balls. A new 2008 studio recording of 'Slowly We Rot'. 'Slowly' is one of the first songs we ever wrote and of all our songs it gets played every show! It is interesting to hear this song re-recorded almost 23 later. Unbelievable! You have to hear it. 'Dethroned Emperior' is a song by CELTIC FROST that we sometimes play live or just while jammming in the studio. Because we enjoy it so much we recorded it for this EP as well.

"I feel like we just got home from the first leg of our European festival tour and now we leave again Wednesday to start the second leg: Austria, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany and Italy... coming up!!!! I hope you come out and see us!"

OBITUARY's latest album, "Xecutioner's Return", was released last summer 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".
