OBITUARY

Vocalist John Tardy of the legendary Florida death metal band OBITUARY has issued the following update: "September 16, 2008 is the official release date for our new 'Left To Die' EP. I think you guys are gonna really like this. It is a completely sick EP. It is really good timing too, the first show of our 2008 U.S. tour is September 16 in Atlanta, GA!!! Looking forward to it!

"We have been working on some new songs for our new CD that will be out next year and going over our set for the third and final run through Europe next week. The first show is in Lithuania and then we will be in Holland, Finland, Germany and Denmark! Hope to see you all out there."

OBITUARY's "Left to Die" EP (see cover artwork below) will contain four songs: two new originals, a new 2008 studio recording of 'Slowly We Rot', and a cover of 'Dethroned Emperor' by CELTIC FROST.
