Obituary Count Down to ‘Sentence Day’
Florida death metal legends Obituary have announced the 10th installment in their ferocious discography: a 10-track, self-titled LP due out March 17 via Relapse. Recorded at the titans' home studio in the Sunshine State, the crew's eponymous tour de force follows 2014's album Inked in Blood and last October's live-release-cum-single Ten Thousand Ways to Die.
"Sentence Day," the album's first single, picks up where those releases left off, razing its path by way of the arched riffs and hellish grooves fans have come to expect. With Donald Trump's inauguration — a political event to some, a death knell for millions — less than 48 hours away, Obituary have proffered up a fitting crucible for a misery-laden, musically enabled pregame before it all goes to shit. Listen below, and scroll down for the album artwork (courtesy of Andreas Marschall) and track list, plus the masters' upcoming tour dates with Kreator, Midnight and Horrendous.
Obituary's self-titled, 10th album hits shelves March 17 via Relapse. Pre-order it here.
