Watch the video for new track ‘Insane’ HERE. Reunited in 2004 after a 7-year hiatus, the band released their 6th studio album ‘Frozen In Time’ in July. 퉌æOne listen to the band’s new album, and it’s clear that Obituary have returned with the same force and fortitude they had in the early ’90s. “On the Floor” opens with an incisive, churning riff, thunderous beats and bloodcurdling vocals before shifting into a chugging, bone-splintering breakdown, “Blindsided” rides a gradually ascending hate groove to a destination just south of Hell, and “Back Inside” fuses colossal crunch with pummeling double-bass drumming to create a deadly mosh pit firestorm. “When I sit and listen to it, I hear some songs that sound like they might have come off of our ‘Slowly We Rot’ record and others that sound like they might have come off of ‘World Demise’,” 퉌ævocalist John Tardy says. “Then there are others that are unique to us and different than what we’ve done in the past. So it’s really well rounded, and at the same time, it’s the heaviest thing we’ve ever done.” 퉌æ OBITUARY – FROZEN IN TIME – OUT NOW
