Even though OBITUARY tends to release the same formulated album with each release, you gotta love em! When I first heard &#8220;Slowly We Rot&#8221;, well&#8230; I just pooped in my pants. No one, and I mean NO ONE, can compare to the extremeness and sheer brutality of John Tardy&#8217;s distinguishable vocal style. OBITUARY is also one of the best death metal, if not best death metal band to see live. &#8220;Threatening Skies&#8221; opens up this somewhat  excellent disc. Very intense and catchier than hell, the thing I love the most about this band. There really isn&#8217;t much more to say about this well known band, you&#8217;re either familiar with their sound\/albums, or you just started listening to this style of metal. Oh yeah, how could I forget? First it was ANTHRAX and PUBLIC ENEMY, then the little rap segment on DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA on their first album, who knows who else has done it? And now, I&#8217;m sad to say OBITUARY has done it. I about shot myself in the head when I heard this &#8220;Bullituary&#8221; song that has rap in it. They should have released this song on an EP and called the EP; &#8220;This Song Sucks But We Like It and We Want you to Hear It So You&#8217;ll Shoot Yourself&#8221;. This song is what makes this album fall. I&#8217;m pretty open minded, but this is just pathetic in my opinion. Fuck this song. I&#8217;m happy they didn&#8217;t break up. I can&#8217;t wait to see them live again, but if they play that rap song, I&#8217;ll leave!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back from the dead and still rotting on.
