Said Frank Watkins of the show, "We did over 30 festivals last summer and the Party San Festival in Bad Barka, Germany was the very last and best one for OBITUARY. Fortunately the show was filmed....it was like a Live Xecution!"
Beginning their career as Xecutioner in 1984, OBITUARY remains one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands in the death metal genre they inadvertently helped forge.
Hailing from the sunny state of Florida, the band's decidedly un-sunny take on metal integrated devastatingly slow, lead-footed riffing with obliterating overtures and guttural screams; the adrenaline of a speedball with the slow, degrading measures of a sewer at dusk. It was a sound unlike anything anyone had heard prior. Engineered by the legendary Scott Burns at Morrisound Studio (which would consequently become one of the most sought after production facilities during the death metal surge of the '90s), OBITUARY's Slowly We Rot debut remains a pinnacle release among all walks of metal; a carnal pleasure for doom, death and thrash fans alike. After eight full-length albums and several smaller releases the band remains one of the most important death metal bands in the world.
