OBITUARY Finish Mastering New Album

Reactivated death metal legends OBITUARY have just returned to Florida from Los Angeles, where they performed a one-off show with SLIPKNOT and SHADOWS FALL at the Forum. The group have posted the following update at their official web site: "What a show! First thanks to SLIPKNOT for inviting us out to play this show! We had a blast and the L.A. fans where great! It was a long trip out to California for one show but well worth it. I would also like to say thanks to Big Daddy, Big Shirt and Rich for all their help!"

In other news, OBITUARY finished mastering their new studio album on Wednesday (April 13), "so we are all done at our end with the new CD!" the group write. "Working with Tom Morris over at Morrisound was a pleasure and we are really happy with the way it turned out. We are still waiting for Roadrunner to give us a release date. Hopefully it will be the beginning of July at the latest!" Check out OBITUARY's studio report at this location. OBITUARY's as-yet-untitled new album, which was self-produced by the band, with Mark Prator and Scott Burns engineering, will mark the group's first collection of new songs since 1997's "Back from the Dead".
