OBITUARY

Few bands have had bigger impact on death metal than Obituary. Some of the their early masterpieces, like “”, “Cause of Death” and “”, was genre defining. Still today the band make some of the best death metal albums out there. Just listen to the amazing self-titled new album that was released earlier this year. Obituary has a long history and we have to go all the way back to 1984 when the band started out as Xecutioner in Tampa, Florida. Spawning way for the Tampa death metal scene with their unique brutal sound. Obituary have rarely performed in Norway and we actually have go back to 1994, on the “ Tour”, for the their last Oslo gig. We are proud to bring the pioneers of death metal back to Oslo and for their very first performance at Inferno Metal Festival. https://www.facebook.com/ObituaryBand/
