To be perfectly frank, the biggest issue with Static Abyss’ Aborted from Reality (Peaceville Records) is that they decided to release the album the same year as Obituary’s recent destroyer, Dying of Everything. It’s been a consistent thorn on the side of Chris Reifert and Greg Wilkinson for quite some time as Obituary has always outshined their most well-known project, Autopsy, as well.
A mix of new and old death metal greats came together for a night of jams at Irving Plaza.
I believe Nergal of Behemoth fame had a recent interview lamenting how modern metal acts run the risk of overproducing their albums and not coming across as organic. (Editor’s note: this is not new for him to say.) And the metal fanbase fought amongst itself online as it usually does, but I think the man may have a point. Lots of Death Metal records have come across my desk recently that aren’t as grimy as they should be. One act without said issue is old reliable Obituary with Dying of Everything (Relapse Records).
Obituary will release their new album, Dying of Everything, due out 13th January via Relapse Records. They have also unveiled the second single / video from the record, the title track! This follows the initial single “The Wrong Time” and the title track last. Pre-orders are live right now at the link below! In addition, the band has booked a headline show announced on 23rd February at The Electric Ballroom, in London, as well as tour dates with Trivum.
