Obituary – S/T
More killer vinyl coming down the pipe on this week’s RECORD OF THE WEEK Blog!
Legendary death metal band OBITUARY return with their self-titled, 10th studio album, further cementing their legacy as one of the most important metal bands of all time! Picking up where 2014’s critically acclaimed ‘Inked In Blood’ left off, OBITUARY show no signs of slowing down as they continue to reign as Kings of their genre. Recorded at their home studio in Tampa, FL, Obituary is a 10 track tour-de-force of bone-pulverising death metal that is as heavy, uncompromising and infectious as anything they’ve released in their historic, nearly 30-year career!
BAND NAME: OBITUARY
LABEL NAME: Relapse Records

CHUCK RAGAN does most of his work these days as a solo acoustic performer while every once in a while bringing a variety of accompaniment to the stage known as The Camaraderie. He’s also known as one of the singer/guitar players from the band Hot Water Music. This release was written as a soundtrack for the video game “The Flame in the Flood” released by THE MOLASSES FLOOD. The majority of the songs were either written, were honed or finished on the banks of Northern California’s Yuba River by CHUCK RAGAN. Once in the studio, RAGAN worked alongside Todd Beene (pedal steel player for The Camaraderie) who produced the piece with Ragan and Ryan William’s of Black Bear Studios who engineered the project. Find out more at CHUCK’s website!

In their teens, OSLOW, like so many of their peers, took refuge amongst the raucousness of hardcore and while they’ve far from left that world behind the ensuing years have been spent tempering that early earnest catharsis with true craft.

The songs lean into pop structures and melody while keeping their energy well within their hardcore roots. RESIST RECORDS is your source for more info!
