July 26, 2008, 15 years ago
Tampa-based death metal legends OBITUARY have issued the following update:
"We flew from Tampa to New York to Frankfurt to Copenhagen and then to Vilnius, Lithuania to make it to the first show of this third and final leg of our European Summer Festival Tour. We lost our luggage, equipment and Frank on the way, but everything and everyone eventually made it. This was our first time being in Lithuania and we thank all of you that came out to the show!Today we are in Holland for the Zwarte Cross Festival and this should be awesome. Along with the music there is motocross and all kinds of other extreme sports going on. This is our first time playing this festival, and we have the next few days off, so we will get a chance to hang out today and party a little bit after the show.
We will spend our next few days off in Holland before making our way to Finland for the next show. It has been a while since we were in Helsinki, so I hope you all come out to see us.
We also have copies of the new Left to Die EP with us, so I hope you grab one of those while they last!!!!!"
Candlelight Records have set September 16th as the American release date of Left To Die. The EP follows the worldwide success of 2007's Xecutioner's Return and as previously announced includes two brand new songs from the legendary death metal band plus a re-recording of the band's classic 'Slowly We Rot', and remake of the CELTIC FROST classic 'Dethroned Emperor'. The EP additionally contains the band's popular 'Evil Ways' video.
