OBITUARY: Limited-Edition Version Of 'Xecutioner's Return' To Include Bonus Song, Poster

July 23, 2007

Vocalist John Tardy of the Florida-based death metallers OBITUARY has posted the following message on the band's web site:

"All is going good. We have been busy putting one last song together for a limited-edition release of [the new OBITUARY album] 'Xecutioner's Return'. Along with the newest song, it will have special packaging and a poster included! We have also been working out our set list for the U.S. tour so we have been busy!"

Candlelight Records, together with iTunes, will premiere the first song from OBITUARY's upcoming album, "Xecutioner's Return", via an advance single. "Evil Ways" will be available for purchase starting July 31 and for fans will be the first and only advance listen of the album set to hit North American stores on August 28.

OBITUARY has posted the cover artwork for its upcoming album, "Xecutioner's Return", at this location. The band once again worked with artist Andreas Marschall, who has previously created the art for "The End Complete" and the group's most recent record, "Frozen in Time".

"Xecutioner's Return" was mixed at Redroom Recorders and was mastered last month at Morrisound Studios in Tampa.

OBITUARY and long-running German thrashers HOLY MOSES will team up for a European tour in January 2008. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.

As previously reported, fan-filmed video footage of OBITUARY performing the song "Find the Arise" on July 5, 2007 at the Underworld in London, England has been posted on YouTube.

OBITUARY will team up with ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY, FULL BLOWN CHAOS and HEMLOCK for a North American tour in September/October.
