Obituary

One of the pioneering bands of the death-metal genre, Tampa’s Obituary has taken the movement easily into the 21st Century. The seminal 1990 release Cause of Death (Roadrunner Records) really landed this band a place in metal history, and the group continues to produce, most recently signing with Candlelight Records to release 2007’s Xecutioner’s Return, a nod to their roots (the band originally formed in 1985 under the name Xecutioner). Obituary comes to Buffalo as part of Fight Fest 4, which also features Alabama Thunderpussy, Full Blown Chaos, Hemlock, Skinbound, Avulsion, Boss Tribal, Seige of Darkness, Blast and Victim of Sunday. That’s ten bands on two stages at Club Infinity on Sunday (Sept. 16). Doors open at 4pm.
