Their new record, Dying of Everything, out now via Relapse Records, is proof that as a new wave of old-school-inspired death metal is ushered in, Obituary can keep up with the best of them.
What has kept them going all these years? According to drummer Donald Tardy, the secret to their success is their laid back, Southern charm.
“Life’s short, and we’ve been around enough bands that take it a little too seriously, and that’s just not us,” he explains. “We’re Florida boys. When you got palm trees, blue skies, and 80-degree weather year-round, how can’t you be in a pretty damn good mood every day?”
