3 words: Florida Death Metal. Obituary’s been at Death Metal since ’89 and have barely changed their sound. Expect very heavy guitars with a downtuned swampy stomp blazing but semi-chaotic soloing, guttural (but mostly understandable vocals), big drums, and lots of “errrrororrororrowww!” Overall mostly good stuff though maybe a few too many songs. ((((((1)))))) Starts low in the mix then BAM! Fast, raging Death Metal with wailing solos/breaks. (((((2))))) Slow drum/groove based with a major “swamp stomp” rhythm. ((((3)))) Mid-paced 90’s Death Metal with very simple riffing and a very nice “death tone” (see Hellhammer/Celtic Frost & pretty much any other Obituary album) though a bit too redundant in the vocal patterns. ((((4)))) Major jud-jud riffing, lots of space between notes with a pretty cool “death trudge” vibe. ((((5)))) Big-ass death groove (without it turning into say, Pantera or Machine Head), very straight-forward. (((6))) Very slow & doomy build up resulting in kinda lazy death/doom with a ton of resonating guitars and beefy riffs. (((7))) More downtuned death tone but just going through the motions here. (((((8))))) Slow build up then speedy & KILLER, bare-bones Florida Death Metal. (((9))) More clean & catchy, modern vs. old school riffing plus some odd tone in the solos. (((((10)))))) Brain burrowing FAST Death Metal with John Tardy usual blood dripping vocals. ((((11)))) Slow-mid-paced death march tone & tempo with some good pacing in between vocal lines. ((((12)))) Very heavy tone with solid guitar sound over all. Excellent build up & simple but rather good drum work. (((13))) slow, downtuned, slow & plodding. Not bad but extremely samey. | ||
