Obituary, a cornerstone of Florida’s death metal scene known for their raw intensity and genre-defining sound, saw their influential status further elevated with the 1990 release of “Cause of Death”, a landmark album in its own right. It showcased a darker and more sophisticated sound compared to their debut, blending groove-laden riffs with menacing vocals and thunderous percussion. “Cause of Death” not only solidified Obituary’s status as pioneers of death metal but also set a benchmark for the genre with its uncompromising aggression and atmospheric depth, influencing countless bands in the decades that followed.
To celebrate its 35th anniversary, Obituary will perform the album “Cause of Death” in its entirety at Maryland Deathfest XX, May 22—25, 2025 in Baltimore.
