Obituary are pioneers of old school death metal from Florida. Not thrash at all. Check out their earlier stuff from Slowly we Rot (1989) & Cause of Death (1990)
OBITUARY is one of the pioniers of good ol‘ Florida Death Metal, formed in the mid-80‘s in Tampa! Speed Metal is very similar to Thrash imo… The melodies are just more „catchier“ 😂
Obituary debuted in 1989 w/ 'Slowly we rot' before there was even a genre called 'death metal'... They were from Florida and they became part of the first wave of death metal bands in the early 90's alongside band like Death... Deicide... Cannibal Corpse... Morbid Angel... Malevolent Creation... Suffocation... etc. They all started as thrash metal bands but consciously made an effort to increase the intensity and brutality of their music and the death metal genre was born... 'Violence' is a recent track by Obituary from 2014 from the album 'inked in Blood'... and the animated video was made for the single... Obituary also made a cartoon promo video for the co-headlining tour w/ Abbath (former Immortal vocalist/ guitarist) which was real funny too... 😂 Some of Obituary's other tracks - 'Insane'... 'The end complete' ... 'Ten thousand ways to die' ... 'Barely alive'... 'Chopped in half' 💀💀🤘🤘 Formed in Tampa, Florida in 1984 under the name Xecutioner, changed to Obituary in 1989 ...The core of the line-up has always been brothers John Tardy (vocals) and Donald Tardy (drums) w/ Trevor Peres (rhythm guitar)... The band changed members frequently w/ lead guitarists James Murphy, Allen West, (the late) Ralph Santolla... and bassists (the late) Frank Watkins, Steve DiGiorgio... (Coincidentally, both James Murphy and Steve DiGiorgio became members of Testament) The current Obituary line-up includes Terry Butler (bass) and Kenny Andrews (lead guitar) who were animated in the clip 😂 Obituary got fanfare quickly w/ their 2nd album 'Cause of death' in 1990... followed by 'The end complete' (1992) and 'World demise' (1994)... However, internal conflicts put Obituary on hiatus by 1995... they returned briefly in 1997 w/ the album 'Back from the dead'... but remained inactive. In 2005, the members of Obituary finally reunited and released the comeback album 'Frozen in time'... w/ Allen West (lead guitar) and Frank Watkins (bass)... but Allen West struggled w/ alcoholism and legal problems - he was fired by 2006. The band also parted ways w/ longtime label Roadrunner Records and released 2 more albums on a new label - "Xecutioner's Return" (2007) and 'Darkest Day' (2009) Despite financial problems, Obituary persisted and returned w/ a crowd-funded album 'Inked in blood' (2014) w/ bassist Terry Butler and lead guitarist Kenny Andrews joining... They kept touring and released the self-titled 'Obituary' album in 2017. Obituary have been actively touring recently after releasing their 2023 album 'Dying of everything'.
HEY! Wow ... FINALLY we're get to see the guys From All the Way from Tampa, FL ... OBITUARY Balász Gróf does the artwork NEXT video a MUST WATCH Right after THIS one is ' Ten Thousand Ways to Die ' (* it's a continued version of THIS video & as always, funny) 🤘🏻😆 " DEUCES! " ✌🏻😸✌🏻
These guys put out a great follow-up video, accompanied by a great song, "10,000 Ways To Die"... If you liked this one, you'd love that one... Thanks for the reaction, regardless. Loved this one too...
Kings of Thrash Metal ... Speed, Death, whatever it's just great Metal Obituary from Tampa, FL BUT, anyways ... T/Y for letting Thrash Talkers / Rapper's React For THIS 🤘🏻😆👍🏻
Oh wow Obituary. As many already said they are old school and pioneers withing DEATH METAL. To get to their real nature i suggest you guys take a tune from either Cause Of Death album or Slowly We Roth album. And this is the newer Obituary not a re-release song.
Coming from a guy who has seen a lot of metal shows..Obituary absolutely KILL live. No band I’ve ever seen has such a tight, organic, primal yet dynamic rhythmic drive to them. Never a wasted note, riff, lead, scream, beat, nothing! These icons of old school Florida death metal are constantly making you want to bang your head off at one speed or the other. Most of their songs are more mid tempo to slow mid with fast sections that sound like “Violence” in between. If you dive deeper into Obituary expect more groovy southern guitar riffing and more thunderous drum beats from these guys than rare fast songs like this.
Turned Inside Out -live !!! Its grainy but it was Obituary when relatively new . One crazy stage diving chaos of a moshpit ! But The songs Cause of Death (the song that got me hooked is SO badass) , The End Complete , Don't Care , Kill for Me , Chopped in Half , Find the Arise , Im in Pain etc... are bangers . And for the love of metal , who ever told you they were thrash is dead wrong . One of the forefathers of Death Metal . Check out their older stuff . A totally more brutal feel . Some is really slow and doomy and then breaks loose in faster tangents . But his vox used to sound WAAYY sicker !!!! Trust me .
Obituary would not be part of the Big 4. Maybe Overkill could be part of that, but since Obituary is death metal and not thrash, they are nothing like the big 4...this song is on the faster side of how Obituary usually sounds...
Speed Metal and Thrash are the same thing technically. Both terms were used to describe the same thing with different groups using one term or the other. Thrash is simply the term that was more popular.
One of the first death metal bands, they don’t belong in the big 4. Slowly we rot is what you should check out. I might say they had some influence from the accused
Obituary isn't thrash, they are old school Florida death metal. 2) The difference between speed and thrash is very slight. Speed metal incorporates cleaner vocals than thrash. The first wave of Death Metal certainly has more of a thrash sound than later generations of DM, as Death Metal as these bands are a direct descendant of thrash. Band like Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Deicide all display hints of thrash to them.
Riffs are pure death metal for the most part that thrash never had. Lot's of hardcore punk influence as well. Thrash will always have a face within death metal tho as it was the influence for DM.
it's been a long time since you gave a reaction to avenged sevenfold, can you give a reaction to avenged sevenfold a little piece of heaven live in lbc
I mean... They are Death metal,but this song in particular is definetly "thrashier". A lot of the old school death metal bands have a lot of similatiries with thrash,but they usually have lower tunings and heavier growls. But you know... Fans get butthurt with dump shit..
Request #328293 for you guys to check MALEVOLENCE - REMAIN UNBEATEN if you like some rap mixed with amazing hardcore/metal you should check that one out!
This definitely has a call back to the early days of Death Metal which were heavily thrash influenced hence the tempo And punkish drumming because all things were in flux in that particular era I'm talking like 86 87 what is really Proto death metal being played by bands like Possessed, Celtic Frost, and Mantas (who would become Death). Obituary do in fact go back almost that far and are pioneers in what was considered early death metal they still have an active career like their Brethren bands Cannibal Corpse Morbid Angel etc. Now I would like to apologize on behalf of old school metalers who understand why you would make the comparison to thrash with this particular track, there is no need to jump on you guys for "blah blah blah it's death metal blah blah blah "Etc. As you know and have been discovering on your journey metal is riddled with infinite sub-genres and people love to debate what is and isn't this or that but the truth of the matter is this stuff sounds like thrash and I get it. Anyway, cheers and now Hollywood can validate actually wearing that t-shirt.
Please do yourself a favor and check out "Bow Down" by (the 12 year old) Harper and Kasey Karlsen. The song is originally by I Prevail, but Harper and Karlsen's version is far superior.
This is not the best song to introduce you to Obituary in my opinion . And I LOVE this band and have since 1990 when I heard Slowly we Rot . But Cause of Death sealed the deal for me . The album and the song by the same name . I love that riff , so heavy, catchy and fun to play !
I mean obituary aren't thrash but they're also pretty close lol like honestly this video alone is very trashy lol they're one of the few death metal bands who don't mind getting silly lol

Fear Factory!!! Powershifter!!!
Awesome song and a funny video! You guys would probably dig Municipal Waste... I can't think of any specific tracks at the moment
Sadistic Magician, The Fatal Feast or my favorite is The Art of Partying
Good to see some Floridian death metal on the channel, guys. Check out "Pull the Plug" by Death for more goodness 🤘

These dudes are solid, always fun when they come into town.
One of the OGs of death! World Demise was one of the big albums of my teens.
This video is awesome. I really like the cartoon animation that is dope AF.
CHOPPED IN HALF is one of their great tracks
OBITUARY IS NOT THRASH!!!!!!!
Kings of Thrash Metal ...

Begging again to do Family by Badflower and Spotlight by Future Leaders of the World! Both are great!
First Generation Death Metal?! Damn yall are getting heavier with it.. Hopefully, yall explore more Death Metal and Sweedish Melodic Death Metal 👍
Oh wow Obituary. As many already said they are old school and pioneers withing DEATH METAL.
To get to their real nature i suggest you guys take a tune from either Cause Of Death album or Slowly We Roth album.
And this is the newer Obituary not a re-release song.
G'morning Tribe!
👋🏻🥴
Part of the ‘next four’, in my opinion, Exodus. The song ‘Children of a Worthless God’ is a great thrash track!

Obituary is one of the first death metal bands, check "I don't care" video.
This original video came out around 2014. Newer stuff like this is more thrashy compared to the older stuff
You should check out Visions In My Head. Another great song from the album.
Please check out Death for O.G. death metal.
The End Complete is such a killer song
underrated snare sound on that album too! smackin!
Obituary would not be part of the Big 4. Maybe Overkill could be part of that, but since Obituary is death metal and not thrash, they are nothing like the big 4...this song is on the faster side of how Obituary usually sounds...
See what ' magazines ' they're reading ...
great band. Love me some Cause of death
Funfact .... Das Video beruht auf einer wahren Begebenheit .
Testament- ‘Children of the next level’ is a very similar video to this lol
Very good
'Effin Rad Man!!! 🤘🧑🦲👍
Speed Metal and Thrash are the same thing technically. Both terms were used to describe the same thing with different groups using one term or the other. Thrash is simply the term that was more popular.
And there's nothing wrong with getting to your own concert a day early right.😊
I wonder who told you this wasn't death metal? "Big four".
Obituary is not thrash. They are death metal. Ya'll are thinking about Overkill.
One of the first death metal bands, they don’t belong in the big 4. Slowly we rot is what you should check out. I might say they had some influence from the accused
Is Violent J still not with Insane Clown Posse?

honestly i agree that this sounds like thrash. i know that obituary are death metal pioneers but to me they've always sounded more like thrash

They are my favorite band but not thrash. You guys need to check out Exodus. THAT is thrash. Jungle Rot is a great OsDM band too
Obituary isn’t thrash!
This is not the best song to introduce you to Obituary in my opinion . And I LOVE this band and have since 1990 when I heard Slowly we Rot . But Cause of Death sealed the deal for me . The album and the song by the same name . I love that riff , so heavy, catchy and fun to play !
this sounded very soft for an Obituary song ....
Obituary is Old School Death Metal! Not Thrash!
I mean obituary aren't thrash but they're also pretty close lol like honestly this video alone is very trashy lol they're one of the few death metal bands who don't mind getting silly lol
