Obituary is regarded worldwide as one of the most influential and successful bands within the death metal genre. On 12 August, the legendary band will come to Doornroosje for the first time.
The American band is known for their uncompromising sound, trademark sludgy riffs and the unique, raw vocals of front man John Tardy. With their debut album “Slowly We Rot” and the ground-breaking “Cause of Death”, the band set the standard for a whole generation of metal bands. Obituary’s approach is less technical than that of some of their peers, but it is the simplicity, the slow nature of and the brute force of their music that enhance the impact. Iconic songs like ‘Chopped in Half’, ‘Slowly We Rot’ and ‘Redneck Stomp’ are part of the collective metal conscience. On stage, the veterans are a force to be reckoned with as well: live shows are still loud, heavy and tight. So warm up those neck muscles, as headbanging is going to be a must when Obituary offers a full performance from front to back of “Cause of Death”.
