Obituary - Mixing New Album, Partner With Relapse Records


Obituary have partnered up with Relapse Records to release the band's new album. The death metallers have completed recording their 9th studio album and first full-length in over five years that will follow Darkest Day. Self-recorded this April by the band at their own RedNeck Studio in Gibsonton, Florida, the group is currently wrapping up the final mixes. The album recording was funded by an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign in late 2013. More details about the album are expected very soon.

The band commented on the new material: "We don't know how to explain it but we really hit the 'metal nail' on the head with this album. We have been writing and working on the new material for nearly 3 years now and we could not be more excited how these songs have all turned out. All the stars seem to have aligned for us and this release, with the songs, production and overall feel of this record, the band is more solid than ever."

About the Kickstarter campaign and signing with Relapse: "We always knew that our fans were some of the most devoted fans on the planet and they proved it by stepping up, being a part of something new and supporting us with our Kickstarter campaign. This was an amazing display of true fan support and we could not be more proud of everyone who helped raise the money to record this album by pre-ordering it, buying all the cool stuff we offered and just being a part of something that we believe will be the way of the future.

"Now we have teamed up with Relapse Records to have them get this new album out there, in stores and available to the fans world wide. We are very excited about our partnership with Relapse and are looking forward to working beside them with the release. They are a great label and super cool people who have shown us that they are excited to have Obituary on their roster and are ready to push this album to its fullest potential."
