Obituary - 'By The Dawn' (official audio)

I'll kill the diseased and rotted
And lives of those betrayed
I live to seek a challenge
Define their cause of death

By the dawn

Enlist the thieves and broken
And rise the new divide
I'll find a home in dead land
Confined to common ground

By the dawn
By the dawn

You live in the absence of thought
And find no one that cares
I see the eyes of blind men
Defined by common law

I'll kill for the fun of killing
And laugh when most would cry
Alone in my connections
And lies to justify

Το μακρινό 1984 σχηματίσθηκαν στην Φλόριντα οι Executioner. Δύο χρόνια αργότερα "έκοψαν" ένα γράμμα από το όνομά τους (επειδή υπήρχαν και οι Executioner στην Βοστόνη) και μετονομάσθηκαν Xecutioner. Δύο έτη αργότερα καταστάλαξαν στο τωρινό τους όνομα.

Ο λόγος για τους Obituary, οι οποίοι συνεχίζουν ακάθεκτοι μέχρι τις ημέρες μας με ένα εξαετές διάλειμμα (1997-2003). Οι Αμερικανοί deathsters έχουν κυκλοφορήσει μία... ενδεκάδα full length albums με πλέον πρόσφατο τον δίσκο "Dying of Everything" που "βγήκε" -σε cd, βινύλιο, κασέτα και ψηφιακή μορφή- προ ημερών (13 Ιανουαρίου 2023) από την δισκογραφική εταιρεία Relapse Records...

Δελτίο τύπου: «The legendary Death Metal icons Obituary return with their highly anticipated new album, Dying of Everything.

Dying Of Everything destroys in the time-honored tradition of early Obituary classics Slowly We Rot and Cause of Death while maintaining the killer studio sound that the band has been perfecting in their own studio since 2007’s monstrous Xecutioner’s Return.

You can hear the results on lead single “The Wrong Time” which boasts a slamming mid-tempo groove. Meanwhile, the title track boasts punishing riffs and songwriting by Ken Andrews. The album’s third single, “My Will To Live,” is a total skull-crusher.

Track after track, Obituary solidify their legacy as a Death Metal institution, churning out some of the heaviest riffs in their career. Like just about every album in Obituary’s vast catalog, Dying Of Everything is instantly memorable; it’s a skill that Obituary have only improved upon over the years.

It’s unusual for a band that’s been around since the ’80s to be doing some of their best work in the 2020s, but that’s exactly what Obituary have accomplished through their do-it-yourself attitude and relentless touring on a worldwide level.

“I think it comes down to passion”, vocalist John Tardy offers. “I say this all the time, but if something’s not fun, I’m not gonna do it. And we’re having more fun than ever”.»
