OBITUARY Frontman: 'That Was One Hell Of A European Festival Season'

August 14, 2008

Vocalist John Tardy of the legendary Florida death metallers OBITUARY has issued the following update:

"That was one hell of a European festival season!!!

"Three trips back and forth and what a great time with a bunch of really good shows. We cannot thank you all enough for all the support and it is because of you that we are invited to all these festivals! Thank you!

"We finished up with a show in Denmark with our good friends in AGNOSTIC FRONT. That was an awesome show and anytime we get together with those guys it is a party waiting to happen.

"It had been a while since we were in Denmark and it turned out to be a great show at a great venue! We finished up our run in Germany at the Party.San festival and what a party it was. We had the bus parked there til' 5 AM and I don't remember the party ending.

"This actually turned out to be one of the best shows we did this summer. What a way to finish things up! A sea of people going crazy and it was nice to headine that show!"

OBITUARY will release the "Left To Die" EP on September 16 via Candlelight Records. The CD will contain 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 will also include the band's popular "Evil Ways" video.

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".
