509.0. "Obituary" by KETJE::VLASIU () Mon Mar 11 1991 11:15

    With a name like Obituary and album titles like "Slowly we rot" and
    "Cause of death" (the last one) this is surely not a glam rock band.
    Obituary is a death metal band and I had the occasion to listen "Cause
    of death". Basicly Obituary play quite well but I'm not at all into
    death metal so my judgement is limited in objectivity. I also listened
    (and not at all liked) Morbid Angel in time.
    The most surprising thing in Obituary is the singer's voice. I've never
    heard such a horror movie voice. The instrumentals are fine but the
    compositions are monotonous and quite flat at least while listening the
    first time. Finally I was quickly bored and I abandonned listening. The
    voice was too much of the same thing (and I am one who liked
    Annihilator's Randy Rampage). An album for death metal fans only.
