Obituary is a death metal band from Tampa, Florida, formed in 1984. The band's lineup consists of vocalist John Tardy, drummer Donald Tardy, guitarist Trevor Peres, and bassist Terry Butler. Obituary is considered one of the pioneering bands of the death metal genre and is one of the most successful death metal bands of all time.
Obituary's early music was heavily influenced by thrash metal and featured fast-paced riffs and solos. As the band progressed, they began incorporating more elements of death metal into their sound, including slower tempos and growled vocals. The band's lyrics often deal with death and mortality, and their music is characterized by its heavy use of distorted guitar and guttural vocals.
Obituary released their debut album, "Slowly We Rot," in 1989. The album was a critical and commercial success and is considered a classic of the death metal genre. Obituary followed up with a string of successful albums, including "Cause of Death" (1990), "The End Complete" (1992), and "World Demise" (1994).
In the late 1990s, Obituary went on hiatus and the members of the band pursued other musical projects. However, they reformed in 2003 and have continued to release new music and tour regularly. The band's most recent album, "Obituary," was released in 2017 and received positive reviews from critics.
Obituary has been credited with helping to popularize death metal and has influenced numerous other bands in the genre. They have been nominated for a Grammy Award and have sold over two million records worldwide. Despite lineup changes and extended periods of inactivity, Obituary remains a popular and influential force in the world of heavy metal.
