OBITUARY Release Self-Titled Tenth Studio Album
March 17th, 2017

Brandon, Florida-based death metal band Obituary issued their self-titled tenth full-length studio album on March 17th, 2017 through Relapse Records.

The album has been made available for streaming in its entirety and can be accessed below.

Cover artwork duties fell to Andreas Marschall.

Vocalist John Tardy commented: “When writing records the song titles and album titles are always the last things on our minds. We know that the songs themselves are the most important thing, so with this our tenth studio album and nearly three decades as a band, we thought it was the perfect time for a self-titled release. It always helps to have a killer album cover so we worked with Andreas Marschall, gave him our ideas and thoughts and asked him to break out the big guns to create an epic logo and he delivered like he always has for Obituary.”

01. ‘Brave’
02. ‘Sentence Day’
03. ‘A Lesson In Vengeance’
04. ‘End It Now’
05. ‘Kneel Before Me’

07. ‘Betrayed’
08. ‘Turned To Stone’
09. ‘Straight To Hell’
10. ‘Ten Thousand Ways To Die’
