OBITUARY:XECUTIONER´S RETURN

Did we talk about this cd yet??' i dont think so. I bought it yesterday and today i have been listening to it twice and i have to tell you guys that i like it very much. I bought the special edition with box+poster and its realy good. Easy listening death metal, not very complex but just very nice and you can feel the old OBITUARY spirit in the songs. Its no THE END COMPLETE but its so much better then WORLD DEMISE. If you liked FROZEN IN TIME, then you will like this one too.

I think it's a step down from Frozen In Time, honestly. And I hate that they recorded the guitars encased in a giant marshmallow.

I don't know, it didn't strike me as very memorable after a handful of spins, so I set it aside for a later day. And I think World Demise is awesome!

Good album. Frozen In Time was good, but this is a little bit better. Actually this is my favorite Obituary album since The End Complete.

Eyesore, you and me have a different taste in Obituary lol. Try to listen to their new album in a couple of days again, for shore you will like it more.
INVADER, you and me love OBITUARY the same way.

Agreed, but I like this new one better than The End Complete. I love Santolla's solos on the new CD. It gives the band another dimension that Allen West's whammy-bar overload solos couldn't offer. But on a few songs its kind of humorous to hear Ralph Santolla attempt to play a simple solo like West.

Haha. Well, I didn't dislike it; it just didn't really hit me right. That's why I set it aside, it seems like one of those albums that I will dig eventually, I just need to listen to it in the right headspace. Lately I've been on a rock and symphonic metal kick, so once someone pisses me off I'll probably go death metal. Haha.

Yeah, that also happens to me sometimes. When i am realy in a black metal kick for exemple i only want to listen to black metal, read fanzines of black metal and even walk with black metal t-shirts for a week or so, and then again i have a hard rock kick and only play hard rock. But still sometimes, like today i am into a everything kick playing from OBITUARY till CHEAP TRICK but i understand your point of view.

Well, I'm listening to Nappy Roots right now, so my theory is a bit off. Haha.

I gave this a listen a few weeks ago as my first taste of Obituary. I'm not going to lie, I didn't dig it that much. I was expecting something very different, but the guitar tone threw me off completely.

you said it brother. i agree 100%

not sure what you were expecting Smindas... Obituary doesn't exactly experiment alot.

Have the new CD. Glad to see that the band was able to put there problems with the guitarist Allen West behind them and move forward. One of my favorites in death metal!
