When I first saw these dates posted over at Metal Underground, I had to do a double take at the posted date because I thought I may have stumbled on to an old article. Obituary have scheduled a bunch of North American tour dates for September and October 2009. I need to start using MS Calendar to remind me up upcoming concert dates. Looks like they’re starting in the Southwest, working their way north in to Canada from west to east and then down the east coast. That’s good tour booking, right there. Obituary Are touring in support of …read more

IGN.Com, a video game site recently published a post on the 10 Best Death Metal Singers and I must say that it is a hell of a list. I couldn’t agree more with it. Take a peak at the list below, but visit the site to get their insight on them, essential albums and a song/video from the band. My 10 picks aren’t much different, but when you put together a list like they did, it’s tough not to pick some of the same ones.

Frank Mullen – Suffocation
Lars Göran Petrov – Entombed
Paul Pavlovich – Assük
David Vincent – Morbid Angel

All That Remains anticipated 4 album ‘Overcome‘ hits stores today. I highly recommend giving this a listen.
Relapse Records artist Burst releases Lazarus Bird today. Metalsucks.net says it you should listen to them because “They are F*cking Awesome…”
All Shall Perish release Awaken The Dreamer via Nuclear Blast
Obituary release a new Ep today through Candle Light records called Left To Die.
And if you’re into the Hard/Alt-rock, Taproot release a new record today as well  called Our long Road Home. It’s a really good record for their genre. That is being released via Velvet Hammer and Red music.

A lot of people were disappointed when they heard that Obituary had canceled their North American Summer Tour. Well  all you’ll have to do is wait a bit longer. Blabbernouth.net reported yesterday that Obituary and Sweden’s Unleashed will be heading out in September for a North American Tour with San Diego Death Metal outfit Carnifex as support. Here are the dates.

When I was younger I used to love Death Metal. Bands like Deicide, Morbid Angel, Grave, Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Obituary and Malevolent Creation were on a regular rotation in my cd player. A lot of things I used to hate about some Death Metal back then was the fact that the music was often overpowering the vocals. Not that you could understand half the shit they were saying unless you read and memorized the lyrics from the sleeve. These days a lot of Death Metal bands have the opposite problem. The vocals overpower the music and you can’t hear the …read more
